AJMER: The authorities at Maharishi Dayanand Saraswati University suspended two employees on Monday and ordered a probe after a bundle of checked answer sheets of UG exams went missing.
According to sources, varsity employees Chand Singh Rawat and Papu Singh Rathore were given the responsibility to bring the evaluated answersheets from Udaipur and Bhilwara to Ajmer. They took the vehicle of the university to collect the answers sheets from different centres and returned on Saturday.
On Monday, while verifying the answer sheets, it was found that one of the bundles was missing.
The employees of the secrecy department informed the university authorities about the missing bundle and a massive search was carried out on the varsity premises.
Later, university registrar Renu Jaipal suspended both Rawat and Rathore for negligence in their duty.
Preliminary, it seemed that either the employees had not closed the vehicle's door properly during their return journey and the bundle fell off en route or they didn't collect the bundle from the evaluation centre. The university had made coordinating centres in different districts of the state to evaluate the answer sheets of graduation exams. Such a system helps in getting the evaluation done by teachers of different universities and colleges.
Sources said the university has informed all the police stations of Udaipur, Bhilwara and Ajmer about the incident.
According to sources, if the bundle of answer sheets is not found, then the provision of giving average marks to students would apply, as is done when copies get destroyed.
Jaipal refused to comment on this issue.
After the two employees were suspended, the university employees' union staged a protest against the administration and demanded a roll back of the order. The employees abstained from work and shouted slogans against the university.
According to sources, such an incident had happened in 2009 too when a bundle of answer sheets had gone missing while being brought to Pali. Another such incident had occurred in 2007 when question papers had gone missing from an envelope in the university.
