My name is Shiv Singh Dangi. I am a nursing student in Bhopal at Roshan Hospital College of Nursing. In September 2020, I took admission in the first year, B.Sc. Nursing, it's 2023, and my first-year final exams are yet to take place.
We had earlier asked our college about the delay in the examination. Back then, the college took a pre-university exam and tried to show that our exams were scheduled to take place. But in the last three years, no exam has been conducted, and we are still studying in the first year.
The delays have been on the part of Madhya Pradesh Medical Science University (MPMSU), Jabalpur, the university that affiliates nursing colleges and conducts exams. Colleges that should have gotten affiliation, from the university, in 2020 got their letters of affiliation in 2023, and exam dates were announced.
This is not just my problem. Along with me, there are around 15,000 students in Madhya Pradesh who are facing this problem, among whom some of them are my friends.
This causes financial stress on our families. Not just mine, there are other students who are in the same situation. I spoke to Lakhan, a first year student.
It's not just about financial stress. It's also about societal pressure. Relatives and friends don't understand our situation – that is why we are in our first year for the last three years.
"I come from a backward class. College fees, room rent, and food expenses are around Rs 10,000 monthly. My parents are not able to do this much. They have sent me to study so that we can avoid facing the challenges that they are facing," says Vikarm, a first year B.Sc. Nursing Student.
It's been three years since we have been doing B.Sc. Nursing. We should either be given the general promotion of two years, or our exams should be conducted at our college so that we can complete the four-year course in the same allotted time. We request that the government and the university resolve the issue immediately.
