Aizawl, Apr 26 : Mizo Zirlai Pawl, Mizoram’s apex students body, today held Higher and Technical Education Minister Lalsawta for dismal entrance test results for technical education conducted by Mizoram state council for technical education. ''The minister must own moral responsibility and step down as the minister for higher & technical education,'' the students organization said in a press statement today.
The MZPs reproach came even as the council, having admitted the 'slight errors', rectified them today.
''While some students in biology group got results in engineering group, some students from the engineering group had their names listed out in the results for biology group,'' the statement said.
Alleging that blunders had been a common occurrence in the entrance test results in the previous years, the MZP had made a request to the concerned minister on April 14 to ensure blunder-free results this year, a copy of which was sent to the director of higher & technical education.
The blunders projected the officials negligence for the welfare of the students, the MZP rued.
The students organization also felt that the director of H&TE and key officials of the technical wing be removed to end the blunders which have occurred in each entrance test results since the past many years.
The entrance examinations for Mizoram quotas in various technical colleges in the country was conducted at Govt Hrangbana College and Govt Aizawl College on April 22. Higher & Technical Education Minister Lalsawta had instructed the department to announce the results on the next day in order to avoid complaint against delayed results in the previous years.
The results were declared on Friday midnight, after the anxious students created a ruckus at the gate of the technical wing, as the results could not be declared during the daytime.
Among the 1,500 students, 215 students each were short-listed for medical and engineering wings. From these, around 120 and 130 students will be selected for medical and engineering respectively.

And, it is a known fact that manipulation of results takes place every year. The ministers/departmental heads call the shots. Its always the people with 'connection' that gets the most coveted seats at the expense of merits. Glad that such irregularities have been pointed out by the students body, perhaps for the first time ever. Go MZP, dig in more if you will..you sure gonna find other cans of worms in this. Welcome to the season of controversies. Lets catch up to the rest of the country..:) Its not funny.
