Alagappa University at Karaikudi in Sivaganga district has shifted its evaluation process to on-screen (digital) form, from the April semester examinations. Officials from the university said that digital evaluation was carried out for postgraduate courses in its 41 affiliated colleges. The process would soon be introduced for all programmes in the near future.
The university recently conducted an orientation course for teachers from affiliated colleges to familiarise them with the system.
Officials told TOI that considering the efficiency and success of this system, they have decided to extend it to all the programmes. They said that earlier while the usual time taken to declare the results was under 30 to 45 days depending on the course, but now due to the digital process, they are able to start evaluation and declare the result on the 12th day itself.
“Further, since the process is digitalised, all unintentional mistakes that are possible including not awarding mark for a certain question, missing a page, error in totalling are completely avoided,” an official from the university said.
As a first step, digitalisation of answer scripts is done through scanning, then they are transported to the valuation centre through the server and finally, digital valuation is done in the intranet lab. The evaluating professor would be able to have the answer key, the digital answer script and the marking sheet on the screen all at a time.
The digital evaluation system, funded under the ministry of human resource development’s RUSA 2.0 (Rashtriya Uchchatar Shiksha Abhiyan) scheme was inaugurated by vice-chancellor N Rajendran on May 17 at the university.
