Why it matters
Students from Kuvempu University have taken to the streets to protest against what they claim are significant discrepancies in their exam results due to digital evaluations. Many students, who have consistently excelled in their studies, received failing marks, leaving them shocked and confused. For instance, one student scored zero in a Kannada paper, while others reported drastic score changes after re-evaluation. The university's administration has recognized the issue, with some faculty members expressing concern over the accuracy of the digital evaluation process. In response, the university has organized counselling sessions to help students cope with their distress. The Registrar of Evaluation has promised to address complaints and has assured that fees for re-evaluation will be refunded if discrepancies of 15 marks or more are found. A meeting with stakeholders is scheduled to further discuss these issues and improve the evaluation process.
