Kohima: Dimapur student unions are fighting back. The Dimapur Naga Students’ Union (DNSU) and All Nagaland College Students’ Union (ANCSU) have launched a formal push against Nagaland University regarding the Four-Year Undergraduate Programme (FYUGP) exam results. Both groups report widespread outrage from students hit by mysterious failures and suspiciously low, even single-digit, marks. The situation has triggered alarms about academic integrity.
Students are suffering. Many bright pupils face backlogs that threaten graduation and job prospects. History students are particularly hard-hit. One major issue involves incorrect subject designations, such as minor subjects being mislabeled, which creates false failures. DNSU leaders Hinoto P. Aomi and Kevin Gonmei blasted the school for recurring issues. They pointed to what they labeled “negligence in the evaluation process” during a press statement.
The university's current rules prevent any student scoring below 20% from applying for re-evaluation. Both unions reject this threshold, arguing it blocks students from challenging clear marking or tabulation errors. They want an open system for everyone. Colleges are also under fire for price gouging. While the university sets fees at Rs 300 to Rs 450 per paper, some local institutions are reportedly charging students up to Rs 500 to cover travel and other phantom costs.
The unions want quick results. They demand an audit of all impacted papers, a cap on re-evaluation fees, and an end to unauthorized charges. Furthermore, they insist that corrected results must be finalized by September to prevent students from losing a full academic year. Both organizations have vowed to keep up the pressure until the university restores fairness to the system.
