Minister for higher education K T Jaleel KOZHIKODE: Minister for higher education K T Jaleel has asked the universities in the state to publish the final semester results of under graduate courses before April 30 and that of post graduate courses by May 31.
Speaking after inaugurating the new Pareeksha Bhavan annexe building at the Calicut University on Monday, Jaleel said that delays in publishing the results were affecting the higher education prospects of many students who intend to join universities outside the state.
The minister said that the varsities should change the practice of insisting on equivalency certificates for courses offered by other varsities in the state or varsities from other states which had A and A Plus grades in the assessments done by National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) or featured in the first 100 rankings of National Institute Ranking Framework (NIRF)
The minister said that though Kerala was a model for other states in school education, it has not been able to achieve similar gains in the higher education sector.
He called upon the Calicut University to make full use of technology and ensure timely conduct of examinations and publishing of results.
Vice Chancellor K Mohammed Basheer who presided over the function said that the varsity has to convert the self financing courses offered in Sociology, Environmental Science, Geology, Radiation Physics and Law to regular mode.
The minister also inaugurated the online student portal at the function. The WiFi hot spot set up in the varsity by State IT Mission in association with BSNL was launched by BSNL general manager A S Sukumaran.
Pro vice chancellor P Mohan, Syndicate members C L Joshy, K K Haneefa, M Sathyan, T M Vijayan, G Rijulal, K K Balakrishnan, registrar T A Abdul Majeed and controller of examinations V V Georgekutty spoke at the function.
