Several students and teachers expressed their anger against the Karnataka State Dr. Gangubai Hangal Music and Performing Arts University (KSGHMPAU) of Mysuru over the lack of facilities on the Jnana Bharathi campus, Bengaluru, where the document verification for performing arts examination was held on Tuesday.
They alleged that students and senior citizen teachers were made to wait in queue for hours under the scorching sun with no clarity and communication from the university about the procedure. “There was no discipline even in giving tokens. The university has failed to provide drinking water and proper toilet facility,” they alleged.
The KSGHMPAU recently called for online applications for the examinations for junior, senior, and Vidwath courses in performing arts, and around 17,000 students applied. Earlier, the Karnataka State Examination and Evaluation Board of the Department of School Education and Literacy conducted the examinations for performing arts. The board also conducted document verification.
