TaNk Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 Ranchi, Sep 8 (IANS) Fans of skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni would say that it's just not cricket. Dhoni, who did not appear for his B.Com. part-I examination was declared 'failed' by the college authorities. The mistake has been rectified. The second semester results of B.Com. part-I results were announced Tuesday by the Ranchi University. The list, which appeared in the St Xavier college, had 'fail' before Dhoni's name. The family members and fans of the cricketer were shocked at the news and the issue was brought to the notice of the college administration. The college administration was prompt to verify the facts and rectify the mistake. 'It was a mistake and the list has been revised,' Nicholas Tete, principal of St Xavier College, told reporters. Now Dhoni has been marked 'absent', a source in the college administration said. Dhoni is a part-I student of St Xavier college of Ranchi. He could not appear in the second semester examination held in May and June. At the time Dhoni was in South Africa for the Indian Premier League (IPL) T20 matches. To become a graduate, Dhoni will have to clear six semesters in five years. According to the college, a student has to clear six semesters in three years. If a student fails to clear a semester then the student will be given a maximum of five years to clear all semesters. Dhoni has already cleared the first semester and now he has to clear five more semesters in four years. Dhoni took admission in St Xavier College last year under sports quota. He was exempted from attending classes.

Ram Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 Why do these people even bother with doing these degrees? I simply don’t get it. Us low-lives have to go through all that persecution of doing one college degree after another coz we have put food on our family’s plate. But if you’re already a multi-millionaire/celebrity, why even bother with any of that nonsense? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if you’re already a multi-millionaire/celebrity, why even bother with any of that nonsense? Believe it or not, you can't get admission to some (elem/middle/high) schools in India if both parents aren't graduates (meaning under-grad degree holders). Not sure if they give exemptions if you are insanely famous or are stinking rich. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But related to the topic, I met a self made millionaire with only a high school degree, and he ended up first doing his undergrad and then Masters when he was in his 40s saying he always felt he had missed out on formal education and wanted to tick mark that.

DomainK Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 Yup. Getting educated is good. Dhoni comes from a small town background, he is setting the right examples. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
