3 Member Committee Submits Report on Lapses During Valuation

The three-member committee that was constituted to probe the lapses during valuation at Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences (RGUHS) submitted the report to the state government recently.

The committee, which is led by director to Medical Education and university’s Syndicate member Dr Aruna submitted the report.

Even while the report was being submitted, the committed came under the eye of a storm.

According to university officials, it doesn’t make much of a sense to appoint a Syndicate member to conduct inquiry on the decision that was taken under syndicate members presence.

“Instead, a retired judge or academician should have been appointed,” an official said.

Why the committee?


The committee was constituted on June 6, following some students’ complaints over alleged goof-ups during valuation of exams conducted during December 2008 and January 2009.

Irregularities


Many irregularities are said to have crept during valuation.

The committee had reported that a dental student was awarded more marks than the maximum marks allotted. In few answer scripts, even though students have written answers, the valuators have mentioned that there is no answer.

In another case, a student got revaluation result in one day, while many students are waiting for their revaluation results for the past three months.

Committee’s recommendations


The Committee has recommended the state government to blacklist those valuators who involved in such malpractices.

Model answer scripts need to be issued.

The committee also recommended reduction in the revaluation fee from Rs 1,000 to Rs 500.
