Posted on: 05/Nov/2018 10:09:01 AM
There are many students studying in University of Madras or MU. The superb piece of news for these students is soon MU would be implementing a new system and by this system the examination results of the students would be announced 10 to 15 days earlier than before.
It must be noted that under the present system, answer sheets are assigned dummy numbers and then these answer sheets are sent for evaluation process. In the foil cards, the examiners enter the marks and these cards are collected on alternate days from the centres.
According to university source it is now clear that 50,000 foil cards are usually created and for the April month examinations as many as 12 lakh dummy number are created twice. It is now brought out that for the creation of dummy numbers around 60 tabulators are usually engaged for a period of 15 days for the date creation of slips and foil cards. There are also 10 temporary employees who do the work and the work takes place for 10 days. One important point to note is the dummy numbers and registration numbers of the students gets verified manually and corrected. Later the actual processing of the results start and it totally takes about 27 days to get completed.
It is now said that in the new answer book the first page would have 2 tearable portions with QR codes. Register numbers would be filled by the students in the upper part. Once when the examination gets finished this upper part would be removed and sent to the university and the lower part having QR code would be sent to the evaluation centres. Once when the evaluation process gets finished then the QR code would be read by the scanner and matched with the register number of the student. By this procedure the need for having dummy numbers would not be there.
Malpractice has been going on for many years during the examinations. It is superb to mention here that by this new procedure there would not be any malpractice and this new procedure would also make the university less vulnerable to re-evaluation scams. One more advantage of this new procedure is front page could be scanned and image could be saved in the database of years. By this dispute would not be there as it would be settled. The results of the examinations could be published much earlier than usual because of less manpower and also by doing away with foil cards and dummy numbers.
A test run of this new system was conducted in the month of July for 1500 answer scripts and the good news is this new system has been cleared by the TANSCHE or Tamil Nadu State Higher Education Council. As per the sources, this new system would be implemented from November of in December 2018 in a phased manner. Vice-chancellor of University of Madras spoke about how this new system would be tested for post graduate examinations in all the affiliated colleges of MU.
