The IIM-K wants applicants to submit a copy of their last concluded exams, but NMIMS
University students, so far, have their sixth semester results.
Several final-year undergraduate students of NMIMS University,
ho have made it to the second stage of the selection procedure to the Indian Institute
of Management are a worried lot as their institution has not yet released the seventh-semester
results.
The university follows a trimester system and several students pursuing the honours
programme in commerce and BBA said they would have to waste a year if the university
did not publish the results of the exams held in October. Some of us have been short
listed for the second round of the entrance procedure at IIM, Kozhikode, but we
do not have the seventh semester results. That jeopardizes our chances, said a student.
The IIM-K wants applicants to submit a copy of their last concluded exams, but NMIMS
University students, so far, have their sixth semester results. Many of them even
approached the examination department of the university, but to no avail, they claimed.
The examination department said they did not have the results. The IIMs demand year-wise
academic information and if we do not fill the details of the seventh semester,
we will not be eligible for the next stage, said a student.
Pro vice-chancellor M.N. Welling said "they had always declared the results within
30 days of an exam. This year’s delay is due to the change in the method of drawing
up results, from normal computer to the SAP system", he said but he added that "the
final results would be considered for admission to a PG course. No student will
suffer due to a delay in the results of the seventh trimester."
