NAGPUR: While issuing a series of instructions for the summer examinations, the RTMNU has clarified that it would not be conducting re-exams this time, unlike previous two years.
After a series of flip-flop from the RTMNU administration, the inordinately delayed exams would commence from June 8 with final year of undergraduate courses. The postgraduate exams would begin from June 15 while rest from June 22.
Due to advent of online mode since last two years after Covid, the university used to conduct multiple exams for the examinees facing technical snags. Failure of RTMNU servers in 2020 exams had also forced RTMNU to conduct multiple exams, as it was very easy for the students to appear from their mobile or laptops, that too from the comforts of their homes. In absence of proper proctoring method, the students allegedly resorted to gross malpractices which led to historic results for RTMNU.
In a circular posted by the Board of Examinations and Evaluation (BOEE) director Prafulla Sable for the principals, invigilators and examinees, NU has clarified that in case the students missed the exams for any reason, they would be marked absent and declared fail. RTMNU officials told TOI that they would get a chance to reappear in the paper only during winter exams.
RTMNU has made it mandatory for the students to take signatures of principals on their hall tickets along with college stamp, without which they would not be allowed to appear for the papers. The general rules that were applied to the examination before the Covid would be in force once again. The students need to enter into the examination hall 15 minutes before the start of the paper. Their entry would be prohibited 15 minutes after the paper begins. They will not be allowed to leave the room before one hour of the paper, although 90 minutes were allotted to them for solving questions.
Among some rules introduced includes using only blue or black pen for ticking the answers, while red-ink pen and pencil are strictly prohibited. If the answer is wrongly ticked, the examinees need to take invigilator’s signature for correcting it. In case of failure, the answer would be declared as invalid and would not be taken into account while counting marks.
The colleges are told to provide rough papers to the students, which they would return to the invigilators at the end of the paper. Unlike last two years, they would not be allowed to carry mobile phones, smart watches or any other electronic gadgets inside the exam room.
