Terming the babudom alt145 disgustingalt39, Mishra said that the final semester exams would commence after three days even as they still wait to clear the fifth semester.

Six quit national tourney
A long with these seven players, three more students, who had gone outside city to represent DAVV in NSS function and Youth Festival during exams, are said to be waiting for special exams. Mishra said that six students selected for weight- lifting tournament at national and state level gave a miss to the tourney fearing that university would not conduct special exams for them. ‘Seeing the dilly- dallying attitude of the university, I think that they made the right decision,’he said and added ‘Unfortunately, the university which is expected to encourage sportsman is discouraging students playing for it.’
