Examination reforms implemented
……………..
a. Online registration of applications for various examinations have been commenced in March 2009 so that verification process has become easier and the candidates can collect their hall tickets by downloading the same from the University Website. By this, no student is required to come to the University either for submission of applications or for lodging a complaint against nonreceipt of hall ticket. b. Steps have been initiated to issue Bar coded answer scripts to the VIIIth semester B.Tech Degree students as a first step and extend this to the First Year Degree CCSS programme examinations scheduled in November/December 2009.
4
This Bar coded answer scripts will be made applicable to the other courses subsequently.
By the introduction of Bar coding, there is no need for false
numbering of answer scripts, the tearing off of the counter foils and decoding. c. The marks of the bar coded answer scripts are transmitted online from the valuation camps itself to the University and the same is posted against the register numbers automatically. This system helps to publish the examination results with in a couple of days after valuation. d. Circulars to the Principals of all affiliated colleges were sent for transmitting the internal assessment marks online. This will be put into effect from the 1st Semester CCSS programme examinations scheduled in November/December 2009. 6.
