Madurai: The vice-chancellor (VC) of Madurai Kamaraj University (MKU), M Krishnan has issued two separate charge memos to the controller of examination (CoE), O Ravi seeking explanation regarding two incidents that raised questions of wrongdoing in the latter’s office.
On January 23, an unauthorised official from a distance education centre accessed the consolidated mark sheets of various centres in the office of the CoE. The VC had acted on a tip-off, nabbing the person in the act. “A charge memo was issued last week regarding this, seeking explanation about how the official managed to get in and in what capacity,” he said.
On Monday, a second memo was issued seeking explanation for the case of exam answer papers that had been lost and found. On February 6, when results of the exam conducted in November 2019 were supposed to be announced, the VC received information that a bundle carrying 138 exam answer papers had gone missing.
Later, on February 10, the staff found the missing answer papers under the seat of a bus, which is used to collect the papers. “The second memo was issued seeking explanation as to why the issue of the missing papers was reported only during the time of announcing results and was not brought to the attention of higher authorities earlier,” explained the VC.
Earlier, I Ismail, general secretary of the MKU Principals’ Association, had sought the suspension of the CoE and a directorate of vigilance and anti-corruption (DVAC) probe for allegedly collecting Rs 3 crore bribe from various distance education centre coordinators in Tamil Nadu and other states by distributing consolidated mark statements without collecting fees dues to the university.
