The Vice-Chancellor Mr Ahmed stated that it is mandatory for the teachers to assign a false number on answer scripts before the evaluation of the examination. It is a basic right of every candidate that examination rules will be maintained during the conducting of the examination.
He added violation of examination rules will harm the credibility of the examination system of the university. These actions could lead to nepotism regarding allocating marks to students. Mr Ahmed requested the university to create clear guidelines for conducting entrance examinations at the university.
The question papers setting for the exams should only be entrusted with an external question paper setter. Valuation of the answer sheets needs to be done only after assigning dummy numbers.
