No matter what the issue, the second round of re-examination will be the last says SPPU
Pune: Around 9,400 students will be eligible for a re-examination after assessment of the 14,000 odd complaints received till May 1 by the Savitribai Phule Pune University (SPPU) examination department.
These students had faced technical glitches during the examination such as inability to log in, activate the exam, abrupt submission of their answer sheet among others.
The university had given students the option of reporting the grievances and a task force was constituted to review the cases in real-time and help the students. The students who suffered due to technical glitches on our part will be helped by the university, Mahesh Kakade, director of examination and evaluation, SPPU, said.
“Up to May 1, we received more than 14,000 complaints from students. We have screened these complaints, verified the genuineness and we will be conducting the re-examination for about 9,400 students. The re-examination will probably be conducted after May 15. The details will be sent to the students on their personal login id,” said Kakade.
The re-examination facility is being extended to students who appeared for the examination but either could not start or finish the exam due to technical glitches. “There were complaints like login not happening, or the examination ending abruptly without the student clicking on the submit button, or complaints about technical glitches within the system which had nothing to do with students. Such students will be allowed to appear for re-examination,” he said.
However, the fate of around 5,000 students who have requested that they should be allowed to appear for re-exam because they were absent still hangs in balance.
“These students did not appear for exams at all and now they are demanding that the university make special provisions for them. Examination can’t be conducted as per the whims and fancies of students,” an official who did not wish to be named said.
