University’s examination house has now decided to work in two shifts to increase productivity.Till Sunday evening, 273 of the 477 results were announced. Only about 10,229 answersheets were assessed by 374 teachers. Around 2.30 lakh papers are yet to be assessed.
The team from the IT department gave guidance on how the reconciliation process could be done using technology instead of doing it manually, said an official. Reconciliation is a process where the university tallies the number of students giving the exam with the answer booklets. The government team came to study the university’s system, and ascertain if there were any flaws.
