Students at Makran Medical College in Balochistan’s Turbat continued their protest for a third day on Monday over alleged unfair failures in viva examinations, which they said cost students an academic year and caused severe psychological distress.
The protesters demanded a transparent and fair examination system and an end to what they described as unjustified failures, and said repeated protests and class boycotts had failed to secure a lasting solution.
“It is unfortunate that every year we hold protests, boycott classes and take other peaceful protest measures for our legitimate demands, yet no lasting solution to students’ basic problems has been found,” they said.
The students appealed to the college administration and relevant authorities to address their concerns and protect their academic future.
“We call on the college administration and the relevant authorities to take students’ problems seriously and provide an immediate, practical and lasting solution, so that students do not lose any more valuable time or jeopardise their future,” the protesters said.
