KOTTAYAM: Many colleges affiliated to the MG University are unhappy with the partial transfer of registration for exams from its exam wing to them. The online registration was to be completed on Monday.
The MG University had transferred the registration of first semester regular and third and fifth semesters supplementary-improvement exams to the respective colleges.
The decision invited widespread criticism as it’s difficult for them to complete with their limited staff.
“Many of the employees are incompetent for online registration. In this context, it's difficult to complete the process,” former Baselius College Kottayamprincipal Prof Jacob Kurian Onattu said.
The affiliated colleges were doing the job for the first time. Sources said the decision to transfer exam registrations was kept in abeyance in August in the wake of strong opposition from teachers and university employees who described it as privatisation.
“Part of the scheme is being brought back,” said Prof Rajan Varghese, former pro-VC of the MG University. MG University maintains that it was intended to help the students.
“The decision is supposed to help them in directly approaching their colleges instead of coming to the university,” PRO G. Sreekumar told DC.
Sources said the confidential nature of exams starts with the registration, and it would help the affiliated colleges to enrol unqualified candidates. It can be detected only after exams.
