‘Academic progress in limbo’: GJUST MBA students raise concerns over 1st semester result delay

The students enrolled in the MBA distance and online mode programme of Guru Jambheshwar University of Science and Technology (GJUST), Haryana, have raised concerns regarding the delay 1st semester results. Meanwhile, GJUST has already conducted the 2nd semester exam in August, and the 1st semester exams were held in February–March.

Despite the duration of over five months, the results are yet to be declared. Additionally, the deadline for depositing the 3rd semester fees was August 31, 2025, with many students having already paid. The MBA batch was enrolled in July-August 2024.

MBA students have alleged that the repeated emails and daily concerns raised in the official WhatsApp group have gone unanswered. Instead of addressing the grievances, the MBA programme coordinator has reportedly removed students from the official communication group when they pressed for answers.

“This delay has created immense anxiety and uncertainty among students who are juggling academic schedules, jobs, and financial commitments. Without results, our academic progress and plans are stuck in limbo,” said a GJUST student representative.

• Ensure transparency and accountability in communication with students.
• Set a clear academic calendar to prevent such disruptions in the future.
• An extension to pay the 3rd semester fee, only after the 1st semester results are declared
