RCM College in Ganjam district has postponed the scheduled student oath ceremony after a request for a recount of results was submitted.
RCM College, located in Ganjam district of Odisha, announced that the student oath ceremony originally planned for this week has been put on hold. The decision was taken after a formal request was lodged to recount the academic results that determine eligibility for the ceremony.
The college administration said the recount request pertains to the final examination scores of the graduating batch. While the exact scope of the recount has not been disclosed, officials emphasized the need to ensure that all qualifying students are correctly identified before the public oath event proceeds.
In a brief statement, the principal affirmed that the institution will communicate a revised date once the recount process is completed and the final list of eligible candidates is confirmed. No further details regarding the timeline were provided.
Student representatives expressed disappointment but acknowledged the college's responsibility to maintain transparency. The oath ceremony, a customary rite marking the transition of graduates into professional life, is expected to be rescheduled later this month.
The postponement underscores the importance placed on accurate academic assessment in Odisha's higher‑education system, and authorities are monitoring the situation closely to avoid any procedural irregularities.
