More than 30,000 first year engineering students from 150 colleges affiliated to Anna University are in a fix as their exam results have been withheld.
Results were not released because the college administration did not pay the requisite fee and did not complete the certificate verification process, government sources told TOI.
More than 90,0000 students from 509 engineering colleges took up the first semester exams in November-December 2018.
Though most colleges were able to access the results, released on Friday on the official website, students from 150 colleges were unable to find out their scores. Confused, they approached their colleges. After the colleges contacted the university, they were informed that their results were withheld due to non-compliance.
“Every college should pay ₹1,200 per student to Anna University office for student affairs. But these colleges haven’t paid them and some are yet to complete the certificate verification process even six months after students registered in their colleges,” said a university official.
“There was a similar issue last year with the release of final year semester results. Colleges were then pulled up for not sending adequate staff to evaluate answer scripts. Students, who were planning to study abroad or attend placements, had to suffer. Now, first year students are facing a hurdle,” said the parent of a student from Chennai.
A university official said the colleges were at fault. Tamil Nadu Directorate of Technical Education (TN DOTE) is also to be blamed for not collecting the fees and details from colleges and submitting to the varsity on time, a varsity source said.
K Vivekanadan from TN DOTE was unavailable for comment despite attempts to reach him.
