B.U, NO MERCY FOR YOU

A boys mind: 

Failing is bad and there should be a penalty or a punishment for failing. Bangalore University has NASA rules; a student failing in odd semester can write the paper in the next odd semester. Same goes with the even. But did you ever think who suffers? When I appeared for my 4^th semester exams, the results displayed absent for two of my papers. I went to the university to check what happened. And guess what? My exam papers were missing. I accepted it as university’s inefficiency and my bad luck. Carrying two arrears I went on to final year. Having written my 6^th sem and 4^th sem exams I waited for results. I am not a very bright student although I tried hard to get through. I failed in one of my 4^th sem papers again. Here, let me tell you what my punishment is. It is worse than stealing or carrying narcotics. I have to wait one whole year to appear for one paper. My girlfriend passed out, my sister has to get admission into engineering this year and my father expired last December. It is very important for me to join a job and support my family. It is not like I dint work hard enough to pass, as I said I am not a very bright student. Now what am I supposed to do for the next 1 year, I don’t need a year to study 1 paper, nor will any company of my choice will hire me without graduation. I am forced to join a call center or equivalent which is not my cup of tea.  

Most of other universities or autonomous colleges have a provision called repeaters exam that is held 20 to 40 days after the results are out, in that way a student who fails saves 1 year of his career. A lot of students lose the will to cross the last obstacle to being a graduate; few go into depression of being unsuccessful and start substance abuse, remaining sensitive and weak also commit suicide.

A graduate is an average of 22 years, he makes mistakes but understands his dreams and responsibilities well enough. My question is: Is it logical and just to make a student wait a year to appear for 1 back paper. Is it so difficult for a university to conduct an extra exam to help weaker students?
