Gulbarga University VC debars 8 students for using unfair means during offline examination

Gulbarga University Vice-Chancellor Dayanand Agsar has debarred five students after they were found copying answers. The Vice-Chancellor during a surprise visit to the government degree college at Sedam where the examinations for the first semester BA, BSc and BCom students were conducted found that the students are violating the norms and using unfair means. 

While speaking to The Hindu, the VC said that he also found people who were in no way connected with the institution on invigilation duty. “The principal of the college has been given the responsibility of conducting free and fair examinations. It was his duty to ensure that irregularities are not committed during the examinations. However, I, during my surprise visit to the examination centre, found that people who were in no way connected with the college served as invigilators in 21 of the 23 examination blocks. Many students were found copying answers. I have debarred five students who were caught red-handed,” he said.

When asked about the action that has been taken against the college authorities, he said " the university has taken the issue seriously and decided to write to the Commissioner of Collegiate Education, Bengaluru, and Joint Director of Collegiate Education, Kalaburagi, requesting them for further inquiry and disciplinary action against the principal."

“We, at the university level, have decided to relieve the principal from the responsibility of internal exam supervisor with effect from Monday. The Registrar (Evaluation) will appoint a senior faculty member from the college in that position,” Agsar said.

He also made a surprise visit to  North Karnataka College in Kalaburagi, another examination centre, in the afternoon and found irregularities and violation of exam norms there too.

“No lecturers were found serving as invigilators in the examination halls in North Karnataka College. Moreover, the principal of the college was, with History books in his hands, helping students to copy. I have directed the university Registrar (Evaluation) to cancel the examination centre,” Agsar said.

He further added that he has also debarred three students of Dr. BR Ambedkar Degree College for using mobile phones for writing papers.
