Earlier, the examinations were held in the Polytechnic campus but the seating arrangements have been changed considering the ongoing semester exams at the institute.

One of the students, Nidhi Shukla, who answered her paper at the school said, ``Writing an exam from anywhere outside the campus is difficult because we have become accustomed to attending classes in the university. This school is unfamiliar.''

For Bijal Bhatt answering the paper from outside the campus was like being discriminated against. She said that either all the students should have been asked to appear from the same centre or the authorities should have taken steps to accommodate all students in the university.

Another student Kewal Shah opined that the authorities should have either allowed students to sit in the university or allowed the students to have a look at the centre before the examinations.

Meanwhile, General Secretary of the student's Union, Prakash Verma alleged that Engineering students, who were appearing for their examinations, were not provided with adequate facilities including drinking water.

Verma claimed that 28 students were given roll numbers just 15 minutes before the examinations began.

Dean of the Commerce faculty B S Patel admitted that change in the exam arrangement had caused inconvenience to students, but maintained that examinations were going on in other faculties and there was no way that all the students could be accommodated in the faculty.

Patel said that the Polytechnic authorities could have made arrangements for all the first year students, but then it would have disturbed the exam schedule of the students.
