Teachers to be served showcause notices if they don’t turn up for
evaluation; answerscripts to carry serial numbers
With semester examinations approaching, the Delhi University (DU)
administration has introduced new measures to ensure that results are
declared on time and to minimise discrepancies. The examination is set
to begin from November 20.
To speed up the evaluation process, the university has put up an
evaluation schedule on its website. “Following the examination date,
the three people who had set the paper will meet and make a marking
scheme. All teachers — ad hoc, temporary and permanent — are required
to evaluate the answerscripts within a stipulated time period,” the
official said. Answerscripts will be divided into three segments, with
a different teacher checking each segment.
University officials said teachers will be served show-cause notices
if they do not turn up for evaluation. “Besides exceptional cases, all
teachers are required to take part in the evaluation process. If they
don’t, the university will issue show-cause notices and the issue will
be taken up in the Executive Council,” the official said.
Following directives from the DU administration, colleges have issued
an 11-digit roll number to students. Earlier, students used to have
different roll numbers in every year of their undergraduate course,
the new roll number will be the same for the duration of the course.
The first two digits will be the year of the students’ admission and
the next six will denote the code of the college, department or the
subject. The last three digits will be the student’s college roll
number. Students will also have to write their date of birth on the
answerscripts.
“With different roll numbers for the three years, the marksheets only
displayed the total marks secured by the student in each year. It
complicated the process of maintaining the database,” a senior
university official said.
Question papers will also carry a six-digit “unique paper code”. “The
first three digits will represent the department where the question
paper was made. The next three digits will be the semester number,”
the official said.
Talking about the need for these changes, the official said, “Every
year, we get around 1,000 answerscripts which have incorrect roll
numbers. At times, the answerscripts don’t have any roll number. In
such cases, the student is marked absent and has to approach the
university for his marks. With the new system, it will be easier to
identify the student if there is a problem.”
The new answerscripts will carry a serial number and students will not
be able to cheat by replacing the answerscript.
