The Punjab and Haryana High Court has issued a notice of motion to Baba Jaswant Singh Dental College Ludhiana (BJS Dental College), its faculty members, and examiners, as well as Baba Farid University of Health Sciences (BFUHS), Faridkot, in response to a writ petition filed by a final-year MDS student.
The student alleged that she was intentionally failed in the practical exams held in August under a planned conspiracy involving the Head of Department (HOD), faculty members, and external examiners, all in connivance with each other.
According to the petition, the student had appeared in the practical examination held on August 18 and 19, 2023, but was declared failed. She claimed that the HOD and a faculty member had not followed the relevant guidelines of the Dental Council of India (DCI) in assessing her performance. She further alleged that the two external examiners were also involved in the conspiracy to fail her.
The High Court has sought a response from BJS Dental College, its faculty members, examiners, and BFUHS, Faridkot, on the allegations raised in the writ petition. The court has also asked the respondents to provide a detailed explanation of the assessment process followed during the practical exams.
The student’s counsel has expressed hope that the High Court’s intervention will help in ensuring a fair and transparent evaluation process for all dental students.
