A city engineering college may face action from Anna University as it wrongly issued to students a question paper meant for afternoon exam session in the morning session on Wednesday.

Following the mistake, the university had to change the question paper throughout the state for the afternoon exam.

The semester exams for engineering students started on Wednesday. On the first day, students wrote arrear exams — engineering chemistry 1 in the morning and engineering chemistry 2 in the afternoon.

After the exam started in the morning, a city-based engineering college alerted the university saying they have wrongly issued engineering chemistry 2 paper in the morning.

The university sent a message to all affiliated engineering colleges not to start afternoon exam until it issued a new question paper for the engineering chemistry 2 exam.

“On Wednesday morning, we got a message from the university not to start the engineering chemistry 2 exam. Then, we received a new question paper through online around 2.30pm and conducted the exam,” a principal from a city-based engineering college said.

Following incidents of question paper leaks in the previous semester exam, the university has decided to conduct online revaluation and decided to send question papers directly to the colleges to prevent the leaks.

“The college has wrongly given the afternoon question paper in the morning. To rule out any leaks, we have quickly replaced it with a new question paper and sent to all colleges online,” officials from Anna University said. “We have conducted inquiry at the college on Thursday regarding the incident. Based on the report, we may initiate action against the college,” they added.
