Nauni varsity computer centre in charge suspended VC orders re-evaluation of answersheets Ambika Sharma Tribune News Service Solan, July 6 Tarun Shridhar, Vice-Chancellor (VC), Dr YS Parmar University of Horticulture and Forestry, Nauni, today ordered the re-evaluation of answersheets. He took up a serious view of the goof-up by officials of the university in uploading two different lists of results of MSc entrance examination on the official website on July 3. Registrar Rupali Thakur said a report on the goof-up had been submitted to the VC and, consequent to its receipt, he had directed university officials to manually re-evaluate the answersheets to ensure that merit was not compromised. In another development, the VC has suspended RK Walia, in charge of the university’s Computer Instrumentation Centre, after holding him responsible for the whole episode. The VC will conduct an inquiry. The university’s image had been severally tarnished following uploading of two different lists containing 53 changes in the marks procured by the students who had appeared for the MSc entrance examination on July 1. The district unit of the SFI staged a protest at DC Chowk here and demanded an independent inquiry to bring out the truth. Terming it an attempt to adjust favourites in various MSc courses being run by the university, SFI activists comprising its district president Devi Chand Rawat and general secretary Mohit Verma submitted a memorandum to the Assistant Commissioner and demanded an inquiry into the episode. Meanwhile, the students, who were affected by the changed list, said they would lodge a complaint with the State Vigilance and Anti-Corruption Bureau if the issue was not resolved. The students also demanded stern action against the computer programmer for having attempted to change the list to extend undue favours to some favourites. While the students have dismissed the university’s explanation of a dummy list having been uploaded to merely check the programme, they wanted to know at whose behest the second list had been prepared and who were the favoured students.
