“Unprofessional and insincere year after year”
The All Nagaland College Students’ Union (ANCSU) has expressed “deepest anguish” over what it called Nagaland University’s continued “unprofessional and insincere” manner of declaring undergraduate semester results.
In an urgent appeal addressed to the Vice Chancellor of Nagaland University, ANCSU referred to the recently declared results of the 2nd and 4th semesters (dated July 11, 2025) and the 6th semester (dated July 8, 2025) under notification No. NU/EX-UG-Result-119/2013. The Union stated: “While reiterating our appeal, we convey our deepest anguish as the Nagaland University continues to remain unprofessional and insincere in declaring the semester results year after.”
Stating that on several occasions, the ANCSU has strongly proposed that the mark moderation procedure be reviewed to make the policy more student-friendly …and reduce the number of failures in the new system as the poor result may cause long-term harm and scepticism regarding NEP 2020’s implementation in the state.
Through “extensive interactions and discussions with students and college authorities,” ANCSU observed that the “backlog rate for the 2nd and 4th semesters [was] unusually high this academic year.” This, the Union said, not only tarnishes the reputation of institutions and the university, but also “puts the academic future of thousands of students at risk.”
The Union questioned the university’s implementation of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, citing specific errors such as: “Missing student names, cleared VAC subject but the NU results read backlog, and students declared passed in some subjects during the 2nd semester are marked as backlog.”
Terming the situation alarming, ANCSU made a direct appeal: “We earnestly appeal to Nagaland University to revise the re-evaluation fee and allow the students to verify their answer scripts before the re-evaluation examination commences.”
The Union further alleged that the declared results have “not only drastically reduced the pass rate, causing anxiety and unrest among students, discouraging them from pursuing higher studies,” but also “humiliated some bright students who were rewarded on the toppers list yet due to the negligence and lack of responsibility on the part of authority concerned, the results was revised stating delayed marks update.”
Hoping for remedial action, ANCSU urged the university to “thoroughly assess these critical circumstances with sincerity and demonstrate its commitment to fostering an inclusive and supportive educational environment.”
