MSU to again conduct online mock test from August 13

Vadodara: After the first online test attempt ended in a fiasco, the MS University (MSU) has now decided to once organize an online mock test from August 13 before the final examinations, but in a phased manner this time.
University officials said that the decision was taken in a meeting between the vice-chancellor and deans, principals and representatives of Covid-19 cell. The schedule of the tests will be declared by the university next week and later it will also declare the detailed schedule of the online examinations.
Moreover, the university also admitted that the mock test questions that went missing from database was because of the server upgrading process.
Officials said that the server was being upgraded as there was abnormal traffic on the website that kept server operations on peak just a day before the mock online test. But during that process, certain images and data that were uploaded on July 30 and 31 could not be retrieved and so these weren’t visible in the system.
The academic staff has been asked to re-enter the data now in the system so that mock test can be conducted from August 13. Besides the cyberattack attempts, this was also the reason for holding the online mock test and final examination.
In a message to the students, university informed that the students who have not received login credentials will have to submit their details in the Google form latest by August 6 and all students will receive the credentials before August 12.
