Udupi, Jul 20: Students of various polytechnic colleges in Udupi submitted a memorandum to MLA Pramod Madhwaraj demanding implementation of the carry-over system in line with that of degree colleges.
Students appealed that they want a final decision to be taken soon in their favour so that they could carry over the subjects in which they fail to the next year, similar to all degree courses. They stated that their future and careers depended on it.
According to the present system, only the students who have failed in less than four subjects can go to the next semester. On September 17, 2012, the government ordered that students could also go to the next semester if they failed in ten subjects. But soon the decision was revoked for the year 2013-14 and changed to the previous one.
Pramod Madhwaraj assured the students that he would look into the matter and said that on Monday he would raise the issue in the legislature.
