Tamil Nadu higher education secretary Mangat Ram Sharma on Monday said Anna University faculty members who were involved in a revaluation scam would be terminated from service.
Sharma said the higher education department would take exemplary action against faculty members involved in malpractices to send out a strong message against corruption.
He was addressing a press meet to highlight the arrangements made for online engineering counselling by the Directorate of Technical Education.
Anna University has suspended four faculty members, including former additional controller of examinations S Srinivasalu, as they were involved in malpractices in revaluation.
Last year, former controller of examinations G V Uma was suspended after a major revaluation racket was busted by the Directorate of Vigilance and Anti-Corruption.
When media representatives asked why there was no serious punishment against the corrupt officials, higher education minister K P Anbalagan said, “The university suspended the professors after finding prima facie evidence against them in the preliminary inquiry. Strong action will be taken after completing the inquiry.”
He also denied influencing the Anna University in taking action against the corrupt officials.
Mangat Ram Sharma said the government would insist on strong action against the erring faculty members at the syndicate meeting of Anna University.
