On the issue of alleged unfair grading practices by North Eastern Hill University (NEHU), the North Eastern Hill University Students’ Union (NEHUSU) staged a protest at the university campus on Wednesday.

Dozens of students from the government higher secondary schools located at Gasuapara, Sibbari and Rugapara villages of South Garo Hills have to rush for time and experience a back breaking journey as they travel from their region to Dalu over a road that has been riddled with gigantic potholes and stripped of its tarmac over years of neglect.

The students had initially selected Shillong as their first preference and Guwahati as their second preference for the CUET examination centers.

The education cell of the Hynniewtrep Youth’s Council (HYC) has demanded the state government to set up more Common University Entrance Test (CUET) centres in Meghalaya.
