Jadavpur University in Kolkata has formally accepted the resignation of Samita Bhattacharya, who served as the officer on special duty for training and placement. Bhattacharya submitted her resignation on May 18, citing personal reasons, and the university's registrar's office confirmed her release effective June 5, contingent on the completion of any outstanding duties and the outcome of an ongoing inquiry. This inquiry, initiated on April 10, aimed to address concerns regarding the placement office's operations, which were reported to be significantly deficient according to a preliminary report submitted to Vice-Chancellor Chiranjib Bhattacharjee on June 2. The VC acknowledged Bhattacharya's contributions but noted challenges in maintaining accurate placement data, which affects the university's performance in rankings. Bhattacharya, who retired in December but continued on an extension, indicated her resignation followed the appointment of her successor, Subhendu Kundu, and mentioned her medical unfitness to continue her role at the university.
