This December, students of Delhi University colleges will not have to crowd around notice boards to catch a glimpse of their results. The university has plans to declare the results of the ongoing semester examination online. For the first time, DU will be announcing the results online of one lakh 20 thousand students appearing for the exams.
Setting aside all talks of delayed results , Dinesh Singh, vice-chancellor of DU, says that the results will be fasttracked this time and will be declared within 14 days of the completion of the exams. Results of all students will be put up by December 15 on the university website (www.du.ac.in).
"Results will be announced online and students will be supplied with their marksheets as well. If students want a certified copy, they can get the principal's stamp on the marksheet after that," says Singh.
The entire system of evaluation and declaration of results has been overhauled and will be further refined in the next series of exams. According to Pradumn Kumar, principal of Hindu College , who was a member of the exam reform committee, "The evaluation system was made online this year beginning with the practical exam results that were generated by the colleges directly . For theory exams also teachers will submit the corrected answer scripts and award sheets at the evaluation centres, which will be uploaded on the university server. The software systems of colleges are connected with the university server."
Earlier, the award sheets were filled in manually and sets of answer scripts were sent to the university, after which the results were declared. This process used to consume a lot of time. The university also plans to streamline the scheme of setting and distributing question papers from the next academic session. Besides, question papers will be set and printed in both English and Hindi. "It will benefit students to have all the information regarding exams , admit cards, results and marksheets online. The new system under this reform will help streamline the entire examination process as well as minimise paperwork," adds Kumar.
