Following the revelation of an incident through an RTI (Right to Information) filed by a former student at Veer Bahadur Singh Purvanchal University, two lecturers are currently facing consequences. Four first-year pharmacy students were found to have been promoted and passed with 56% for writing Jai Shri Ram and the names of international cricket players on their answer sheet. Two professors were investigated once the issue surfaced, and the institution wrote a letter to the governor (since the governor of a state is also the chancellor of a university). Dr. Ashustosh Gupta and Dr. Vinay Verma, the accused teachers, will shortly be relieved of their responsibilities and removed from their positionsRTI revealsOn August 3, 2023, Divyanshu Singh, a former student, requested copies of the answer sheets of 18 students and a reevaluation of the university under the Right to Information Act (RTI).

Surprisingly, these kids passed with 56% marks.Claims confirmedThe former student had accused a professor of passing the students even though they had not put the right answers on the copies, all for the purpose of receiving money. In addition, he had written to Raj Bhavan. On December 21, 2023, the Raj Bhavan (Governors House) issued an order for an investigation into the case. After 8 months, the report was finally turned in and given to the committee. The committee concluded that the claims were accurate. The universitys vice chancellor, Vandana Singh, announced that the two professors had been found guilty and that, upon receiving the letter from Raj Bhavan, the university would take appropriate legal action against them.
