Prayagraj: With this year’s final examinations set to start from Tuesday, Allahabad University has introduced several measures to ensure a fair evaluation process.
AU controller of examinations (CoE) Ramendra Kumar Singh said this year the examinations would conclude a week earlier as compared to last year. “The exams would start from March 3 and will end on May 1. The examinations conducted in the second half of the day would conclude even on April 21,” he added.
Singh said that university plans to declare results by June 30. In 2019, AU had to issue over 600 provisional certificates to students applying to other colleges because of the delay in declaration of results.
He said an examination cell will be set up in constituent colleges with a senior teacher as its in-charge to ensure that examinations are conducted smoothly. “We have also formed a WhatsApp group with exam cell in-charges and college principals as its members. This would also help in sharing important information like corrections in question papers in the middle of exams without wasting time,” he added.
Singh said that the AU examination committee has also fixed norms for evaluation of answersheets. “Every examiner will have to complete evaluation of answersheets of theoretical exams and, submit the award sheet and evaluated answersheets within three weeks of getting them. Teachers evaluating practical exams would be given a week to turn in results and submit award lists.”
The authorities have also made changes in guidelines related to students caught using unfair means (UFM) during examinations. Students caught using UFM will debarred for a year from the university. The period was two years earlier.
AU chief proctor RK Upadhyay said examinees should enter the university only through the KPUC and Union gate and should not bring their mobile phones with them
