Sanskrit varsity to revert to centralised evaluation system
The Hindu
Department-level evaluation was adopted due to COVID-19 restrictions
The mysterious disappearance of 276 answer scripts of the third semester M.A. Sanskrit Sahitya exam of the Sree Sankaracharya University of Sanskrit and its sudden discovery months later found resonance in the Syndicate meeting held on Friday as a decision was taken to revert to the previous system of centralised evaluation. The department-level evaluation of answer scripts was adopted in the wake of the COVID-19-related restrictions. But the disappearance of the answer scripts and the suspension of a senior faculty member under the interim arrangement meant that the representatives of the teachers insisted on returning to the centralised system. Sangamesan K.M., who was suspended by the university on the charge of being responsible for the loss of the answer scripts, was reinstated immediately after the papers were recovered from the exam wing on Monday. The university had found his explanation that he had handed over the answer scripts and grade sheet to the head of the department unsatisfactory. The Kalady police had since then registered a case of theft.More Related News
