The revised Draft Ordinance of Mangalore University on Indiscipline and Malpractice in Examinations which is awaiting the approval of the Syndicate, the highest decision making body of the university, includes provisions for imposing penalty on teachers for erratic evaluation of answer scripts, non-evaluation of a complete answer, wrong entry of marks and failure of the examiner and evaluator to report for evaluation, among other punishment prescribed to prevent indiscipline and malpractice by evaluators.
The draft, prepared by a seven-member university committee, imposes a penalty of ₹3,000 per answer script with disciplinary action for erratic evaluation by the evaluator. Evaluating an answer script without competence by the evaluator and non-evaluation of a part of the answer, each invites a penalty of ₹7,000 with disciplinary action.
It said that in case of non-evaluation of a complete answer or not assigning marks to an answer (if five such mistakes are done) the evaluator should be imposed a fine of ₹5,000. In addition, the entire remuneration, conveyance etc. of the evaluator should be forfeited and the particular evaluator should be debarred from evaluation work for two years and disciplinary action should be taken against the person concerned, it mentions.
Wrong/non-carrying of marks from inside to the over page or designated sheet of the answer script etc. invites a penalty of ₹5,000 for each mistake.
The draft said that wrong entry of marks in figures and words in the OMR sheet/marks list, wrong totalling of marks by the evaluator and reviewer, non-entry of marks/wrong transfer of marks from answer scripts to OMR sheet or marks list and displacing an answer script from one packet to another packet each invites a penalty of ₹3,000 for every mistake.
The draft imposes a heavy penalty of ₹40,000 on the principal of a college if he/she fails to ensure that the evaluators (teachers) appointed from the college do not report for evaluation work or if the principal fails to report to the university the absence of an evaluator from evaluation work.
Pakistan coach Gary Kirsten stated that “not so great decision making” contributed to his side’s defeat to India in the Group-A T20 World Cup clash here on Sunday. The batting unit came apart in the chase, after being well placed at 72 for two. With 48 runs needed from eight overs, Pakistan found a way to panic and lose. “Maybe not so great decision making,” Kirsten said at the post-match press conference, when asked to explain the loss.
