The students have taken indefinite fast pressing for their immediate placement. They took this extreme step after meeting the chief minister in Janata Darbar on April 11 to register their grievances.
The students, some of them from outside Bihar, hold the chief minister responsible for spoiling their career as there is hardly any faculty nor any other facility in the University, considered to be the brainchild of Nitish Kumar himself.
“We wasted five long years and more than a million rupees. Our career is over. Now nobody is taking care of,” they lamented.
Like the students of the Chandragupta Institute of Management Patna (CIMP), who too sat on indefinite fast in 2009 pressing for similar demands they have a regret. “The media has virtually been blacking out the news of such national importance when we have been repeatedly approaching them.”
Students are of the view that at the time of its inauguration five years back the chief minister assured that it would be a world class institute; the truth is that it is not even of Bihar class. It is not ranked in top 100 institutes of India, they said.
On its part the state government is speechless and basking in the glory that the Centre has decided to open so many institutes: the Nalanda International University, the IIT, the Central University of Bihar and off-campus branch of the AMU. As is its wont it is busy taking credit for all these measures when the truth is that its own premier institutes––CIMP and CNLU––are gasping for breath.
In such a situation please do not ask about other state government medical, engineering and management colleges.
