Anna University to launch digital evaluation system
NAMAKKAL: Anna University-Coimbatore will introduce Digital
Evaluation System for correcting the answer scripts of students
within May this year, its Vice-Chancellor R. Radhakrishnan has
said. He said that the university would collect all the answer
scripts after conducting examinations, scan them at the zonal
centres and store in the Central database.
The evaluators would be allowed to correct the digitally-available
answer scripts at their respective workplace itself. Each answer
script would be subjected to evaluation twice. If differences
were found in the marks awarded during the two evaluations,
the scripts would be taken for evaluation third time.
Biometric technology
The university would use biometric technology and advanced software
tools for the new system to prevent malpractices during the
evaluation process. The primary objective of this initiative
is to speed up the evaluation process and reduce the logistic
cost.
The system enables the preservation of answer scripts for a
long time. The re-valuation process will be made easy after
the introduction of the system. If students made a request to
see their answer scripts, the varsity will e-mail the scripts
to them, Mr. Radhakrishnan explained.
The new system is under development and will be introduced within
May this year, he added.
The Vice-Chancellor said that Anna University-Coimbatore had
introduced grades on a nine-point scale based on the instructions
from the University Grants Commission.
On-line examination
The online-examination system for the post-graduate courses
would begin from the coming academic year.
The university will bring in more innovative techniques to enhance
the learning and teaching process in the future, he assured.
