Technical glitch makes VTU students write exam late

BENGALURU, JANUARY 15, 2019 00:00 IST

Students of Visvesvaraya Technological University (VTU), Belagavi, who appeared for the semester examination were made to wait for around one-and-a-half hours as there was a technical snag in the VTU server at its headquarters in Belagavi. There was a delay in the question papers reaching the students as the question papers are delivered online.

Students who were scheduled to appear for the afternoon session of the exam at 2 p.m. were made to wait till around 3.30 p.m. in some centres.

Satish Annigeri, Registrar (Evaluation) of VTU said: “We are using a new software and there was no problem for all the other examinations. Monday was the last day of the regular examinations and we had a small technical glitch.”

He did not elaborate on the exact nature of the problem, citing confidentiality reasons.

KGF reference

Many students who wrote the compulsory Kannada paper were surprised to find a reference from the recently released blockbuster - K.G.F.: Chapter 1 in their question paper.
