Mangalore University acquires data from UUCMS to issue physical marks card
According to officials, the printing of mark cards for PG students under the NEP syllabus is underway, and UG and other courses will take some time.
MU needs to print over 45,000 mark cards for UG courses and is in the process of procuring materials, especially printing paper, for the same. There is a pressing demand from two batches of NEP-UG students to issue physical mark cards at the earliest, as it is hindering their prospects, whether for a job or higher studies, since currently, mark cards are issued digitally and available on DigiLocker.
"We were requesting to give all the data of our students to UUCMS. After long discussions and pressure, they finally handed over the data to us. It took nearly two months to procure the data," said H Devendrappa, registrar (evaluation) of MU. The syndicate body of MU has already approved providing a consolidated marks card to candidates, and procuring the data has delayed the entire process. Currently, the cross-verification of the provided data is in process.

"Since it is used officially by MU, the marks card needs to be proper without any error. It will be an issue for both candidates and MU when an issued marks card comes for verification of marks card/verification of genuineness. Once all this cross-checking is over, MU will start printing the same," said Devendrappa.
Meanwhile, the printing of marks card of NEP-PG courses is in progress. "Their number comes around 4,500 to 5,000 marks cards.
It will be issued soon. The UG and related course marks card number is 45,000 plus. There are two NEP batches, 2022-23 and 2023-24, whose marks card need to be issued at the moment," he said.
With the delay in issuing physical marks card, the passed candidates continue to suffer. They are unable to secure jobs and get into higher education institutions abroad since digitally issued marks card are not accepted, considering them not to be genuine. The students' union under Mangalore University has been fighting for one year to issue physical marks card for all under the NEP syllabus.

24 state boards seek NCVET recognition to offer vocational training to students
Twenty-four school boards are in the process of getting recognition as dual category awarding bodies — a status that will authorise them to conduct both training and assessment for vocational courses offered to students — in a major push to integrate vocational education with the formal schooling system in line with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020. Students at the Government Senior Secondary Smart School PAU in Ludhiana in March 2025. (HT Photo) While eight state and Union Territory (UT) school boards have submitted their online application forms for the recognition, 16 have initiated the process by registering on the portal of National Council for Vocational Education and Training (NCVET), the regulator for skilling and vocational education in India. Officials from NCVET, education ministry and state boards have said that the recognition of state boards as dual awarding bodies will help in strengthening the skilling ecosystem in their respective states and UTs. The school boards from eight states and UT, which have submitted their online application forms for getting recognition as dual ABs, are Bihar, Jammu and Kashmir, Goa, Maharashtra, Himachal Pradesh, Assam, Madhya Pradesh and Nagaland. NCVET, which functions under the Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship (MSDE), had already recognised Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) and the National Institute of Open Schooling (NIOS) as dual Awarding Bodies (ABs) on July 5, 2023, and August 4, 2023, respectively. After becoming dual ABs, school boards will be able to integrate skill-based courses directly into the school curriculum and certify students in line with the National Skills Qualification Framework (NSQF) qualifications under the National Curriculum Framework (NCF), a set of guidelines aligned to shape school curriculum, teaching, and assessment. NSQF is India's competency-based framework that organizes qualifications according to levels of knowledge, skills, and aptitude. 'The application process is open throughout the year. Given the provisions of the NCF, which mandates NSQF-aligned vocational qualifications in Grades 9 and 10, and offers them as optional in Grades 11 and 12, it is imperative that school boards pursue NCVET recognition as soon as possible to enable timely implementation,' NCVET said on July 30 in response to HT's queries. The application process started on July 18 during a national workshop organised by officials of ministry of education, MSDE and NCVET in Delhi to guide state and UT boards on the onboarding process for becoming a dual category ABs. 'During the workshop, NCVET officials told us about how to upload documents and the criteria that need to be fulfilled for getting recognition as dual awarding ABs. We have submitted the application process on July 23 and are waiting for approval,' Dr Arif Jan, deputy director academics at the Jammu and Kashmir Board of School Education (JKBOSE) told HT. 'We are currently dependent upon sector specific councils (SSCs) for assessment and certification purposes for vocational and skill courses. However, we will be able to design the courses in line with NCVET guidelines and assess and certify the learners after getting the recognition as dual AB,' he added. SSCs are industry-led bodies that operate under NCVET to ensure skill development is aligned with industry needs in specific sectors of the economy. Under the NCVET framework, ABs are classified as standard or dual ABs. A standard AB delivers vocational training but relies on third-party agencies for assessment and certification. In contrast, a dual AB is empowered to handle both training and assessment internally, offering end-to-end control over vocational education delivery. School boards becoming dual awarding bodies MSDE in a press statement on July 18 said that with the help of frameworks such as the National Credit Framework (NCrF), Academic Bank of Credits (ABC), and NCF, the state and UT boards will 'now be better positioned to design, deliver, and assess courses till NSQF 4 — levels most relevant for grassroots skilling and employment'. As of July 2025, there are 1,482 active NSQF-aligned qualifications up to Level 4, including 223 future skills courses related to digital literacy, data handling, AI basics, and green skills among others. The NCrF allows credit accumulation and transfer across school, skill, and higher education, while the ABC digitally stores these credits. Together, they link NCF and NSQF by allowing smooth mobility between general and vocational learning pathways. 'The accumulated credits which are transferable across institutions and levels of education will ensure that vocational education holds equal value in the broader education ecosystem,' NCVET said. A senior education ministry official said students get familiar with skilling in Classes 6 to 8 and they have to compulsorily study skill subjects in Classes 9 to 12 'We have asked all the state and UT school boards to become an assessment and awarding body for vocational and skill education. We are hoping that all the state and UT school boards will be on the NCVET portal as dual awarding bodies within this academic year 2025-26,' he said. India has 66 school boards, including two central regular examination boards (CBSE and CISCE), 52 state and UT boards and 12 open boards (including NIOS and 11 state open boards). Among the 52 state and UT boards, 35 conduct both secondary and higher secondary exams, while 17 boards are there for each level. Tadeu Braganza, system analyst at Goa Board of Secondary and Higher Secondary Education, who attended NCVET's July 18 workshop said that Goa Board is awaiting approval from NCVET for recognition as a dual awarding body after submitting the application. 'But as instructed by NCVET officials, we have to start working on the different areas. As soon as the Goa Legislative Assembly's monsoon session is over [On August 8] the chairman of the Goa board will execute the plan formulated for instructors and will hold a meeting with subject experts and experts from different industries to design the curriculum as per the requirement of the state of Goa,' he said. Under the recently notified 'Guidelines for Recognition and Regulation of Awarding Bodies, 2025,' the school boards are required to meet only 3 out of the 8 eligibility criteria: having a comprehensive future plan for vocational education, a functional grievance redressal mechanism, and operational readiness (including question banks, assessment protocols, governance systems, and manpower). They are exempt from five other standard requirements applicable to government undertakings and private institutions: legal registration, prior experience, financial capacity, infrastructure, and third-party arrangements. After becoming dual ABs, school boards can offer vocational education subjects in three formats: as part of the core curriculum, as additional qualifications for enrolled students, and through outreach programmes for others. Challenges and way forward The limited institutional capacity of many school boards which mainly function as school examination conducting bodies, is a major challenge in offering vocational education. Jyotismita Borah, deputy coordinator, Assam Higher Secondary Education Council, said that there is a scarcity of subject matter experts within the board to design the vocational and skill training curriculum for students. 'As an assessing body, we will have lots of subject matter experts as we will sign MoU with technical education institutions. We will take their help in designing a skill curriculum. Our function as a dual awarding body will benefit students to get certificates up to NSQF-level 4 which will help them in acquiring skill and getting employment in future,' she said. PARAKH (Performance Assessment, Review, and Analysis of Knowledge for Holistic Development), the national assessment centre under NCERT, has been pushing for the inclusion of skill-based subjects in school curricula by working with state boards to align the assessment frameworks, into a competency based scheme and employability skills. Indrani Bhaduri, chief executive officer of national assessment centre PARAKH, said that state boards becoming dual ABs, will offer multiple benefits to students. 'By embedding vocational education into regular school learning, students can explore diverse career paths early in their academic journey. It opens up opportunities for hands-on learning, industry exposure, and skill development, thereby improving their employability and reducing the gap between education and workforce readiness. Furthermore, it supports holistic development by catering to varied learning interests and abilities, fostering a more inclusive and practical education system. The holistic progress card (HPC) at the secondary stage developed by PARAKH, has all of these integrated in the system,' she said. HPC is a holistic, 360-degree, multidimensional report that reflects the progress as well as the uniqueness of each learner in the cognitive, affective, and psychomotor domains.

MU plans to implement digital evaluation
Mangaluru: Mangalore University (MU) is considering implementing digital evaluation from the next semester. The recently held syndicate meeting gave a green signal for MU to proceed with the new plan and adopt it if there is adequate space, finance, and manpower available. The four-decade-old university has proposed to procure technology with the help of VTU, Belagavi. The new technology would not only save time but also a substantial amount of money for the cash-strapped university. According to officials, the evaluation cost would decrease by nearly 50%. Providing details, Judith Mendonca, syndicate member of MU, told TOI that currently, the varsity is conducting manual evaluations. The adoption of digital evaluation will reduce the time of evaluation and the number of evaluators. "The technology will save time and money for MU, besides providing results at the earliest. Currently, for each semester examination evaluation, MU spends about Rs 40 lakh, and the cost post-adoption of digital evaluation will be reduced by half. We are pushing for it to be implemented from the next semester itself," she said. Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Is this legal?

Registrar (evaluation) Devendrappa H said that the syndicate body of the varsity has proposed to go for digital evaluation. However, they would not be able to implement it for UG at the earliest. Therefore, they will start with PG courses. Before this, a delegation of officials will visit various institutions across Karnataka that have adopted digital evaluation. "We will educate ourselves on how it is done and what arrangements need to be made," said Devendrappa. He said that the adoption of digital evaluation needs to be integrated with UUCMS. "The one-time cost for setting up the technology is huge. We are looking at various aspects, including whether MU, which is reeling under a financial crunch, can afford it or would the govt sponsor this. Also, a large space is required for the setup," he said. Get the latest lifestyle updates on Times of India, along with Friendship Day wishes , messages and quotes !
