The English (hons) students of Vivekananda college had written all their exams and were shocked to find an 'Essential Repeat' instruction against their names when the results were posted online on Sunday night.
Flabbergasted, they rushed to their college to find what went wrong, but college records showed they were very much present and had written the paper.
This followed three days of running from pillar to post before their problem was finally addressed after a personal intervention by the Dean of Examinations.
"Twenty of us in a series of roll numbers were marked 'Not Appeared' in the paper. We were shocked and troubled, all the more, because many of us had to report for admissions on Thursday," said a student, who requested not to be named.
After securing a letter of verification from their principal, who also faxed the examination attendance sheet to the concerned department, the students rushed to the Office of the Dean of Examinations this morning.
