Morethan 750 students have registered to write their End of Semester examinations for 125 different courses. There were the students who stayed away from classes conducted by the Bishop's administartion and were attending 'under the tree' classes.
Dr. P.R. Anbudurai, the principal in charge and secretary of the college, heading the group that fights the illegal 'take over' of the college by Bishop, made several requests with the district administration, Directorate of Examinations and Madurai Kamaraj University, in connection with the conduct of EOS examinations to these 'left out' students. The entire process of conducting examination is complicated, needing the students to pay their examination fees, providing students with Hall Tickets, typing and printing question papers and Halls to conduct examinations. The group fighting against Bishop's men who were taking classes under the trees, have no facility or infrastructure at their disposal to conduct examinations for these students. At last, a team from the MKU came forward and mediated talks with the Bishop's men, thanks to the initiative of higher education secretary R Kannan. A MoU was signed by both the warring groups and the MKU team took up the responsibilities to conduct the examinations. The examinations were scheduled to start with the first session at 8 am on 27-07-2011.
On 27-07-2011 morning, the first session of the examination could not be conducted at the scheduled time. The reason was that when the students paid their examination fees through challan, the Indian bank people affixed a seal mentioning a wrong date (instead of 25.7.2011, the seal had the date 25 May 2010). Siting this as a reason, the Bishop's men did not issue the hall ticket and the MKU team couldn't convince them.
More than 200 students who turned up for the first session of the examinations were upset when they didn't get their Hall tickets and couldn't write their examinations. The frustrated students took to roads. Police men rushed to the spot and took about 30 students to the police station in a van. Rest of the students then planned to take out a procession condemning the police action.
At this juncture, Dr. P.R.Anbudurai and his team of faculty members talked to the students, pacified them and assured them that they will take steps for the immediate release of the 'arrested' stuednts and further assured that the first session examination would start at 3 pm.
At last, the End of Semester examination started at 3pm and went on peacefully.
