GTU forms panel to probe errors in diploma semester-2 exam
Ahmedabad: The Gujarat Technological University (GTU) formed a five-member committee to probe substantial errors in the diploma semester-2 mechanical engineering examination. The problems occurred in the Applied Mathematics exam conducted on May 29, creating confusion among nearly 25,000 students from more than 120 colleges across the state. During the examination, which ran from 10.30 am to 1.30 pm, corrections were issued around 1.10 pm. Many students completed and submitted their papers before the corrections were announced. Despite a 30-minute extension being granted, numerous institutions failed to receive the information in time. This situation resulted in student demonstrations and appeals for grace marks. The university formed a committee including the Dean of Diploma Faculty, two Board of Studies members, and two subject specialists. During their Thursday meeting, the committee's assessment revealed errors in multiple questions, specifically two questions worth 3 marks each and three questions worth 4 marks each. Consequently, they suggested awarding between 14 and 18 grace marks to the affected students. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 울산에서 임플란트 할때 '59만원' 혜택 받아가세요! 울산심플치과 더 알아보기 The committee also recommended punitive measures against the paper setter, who is a faculty member at a govt polytechnic.
