Students aspiring to pursue their higher studies abroad have been hit owning to the delay in fixing the server of the Abroad Study Permission Section (ASPS) that issues No Objection Certificate (NOC).
The server of the Office of the ASPS under the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology at Sanothimi in Bhaktapur went down for the last four days, said the ASPS in a notice.
The server of the Office of the ASPS that issues NOC, a letter mandatory for students going abroad for further studies, has not been fixed even though it went down four days ago.
The server which went down on Thursday did not come into operation even on Sunday prompting students to stage demonstrations in front of the Abroad Study Permission Section.
Meanwhile, the NEB was forced to call security personnel for security after hundreds of students thronged the ASPS, and shouted slogans demanding prompt service delivery.
Those students who have already booked air tickets and are scheduled to fly abroad on Sunday night and Monday have been hit the hardest.
Shanti Ram Paudel, a staffer at the ASPS, has claimed that that they have been trying their best to fix the server. He said that it is taking a long time to restore the lost data.
