Borapansury: The Mizo Zirlai Pawl, the state's apex students' body, has discovered misconducts in this year's state technical entrance exams that benefitted the 'non-indigenous' Chakmas.
According to MZP, as many as 41 non-Mizo students, including 38 Chakmas, were included in category-I in the technical entrance examinations 2014, in violation of The Mizoram (Selection of Candidates for Higher Technical Courses) Rules 1999.
'According to the Rules, the candidates are categorised into three. Mizos come under category one, non-Mizos but who are permanent citizens of Mizoram under category two and children of non-Mizos working under Mizoram state government in living in Mizoram come under category three,' MZP president Lalhmachhuana said.
'The Rules that came into force in 1999 have enabled many Mizo students to study technical courses in reputed institutes across the country. The Rules safeguards the sons of the soil,' the students' leader said.
The MZP strongly condemned the state higher & technical education department for 'considering the Chakmas as sons of the soil, which they never were' and demanded immediate rectification.
'Thanks to the serious blunder, 28 non-Mizo students and 13 Chakma students have been selected for medical course and engineer course respectively,' Lalhmachhuana said.
The MZP will go to any length unless the authority immediately rectify the mistakes, the MZP president said.
