SRINAGAR, May 27: Vice-Chancellor University of Kashmir, Prof Nilofer Khan today chaired a meeting to review the status of various UG and PG examinations and the new initiatives underway by the varsity’s Examination Wing to boost delivery of various student-centric services.
In her introductory remarks, Prof Nilofer said the Examination Wing is the face of the University and this calls for making technological interventions to ease students vis-à-vis delivery of various services related to different Examination-related domains.
On the occasion, Controller of Examinations Dr Majid Zaman made a detailed power-point presentation on the status of various UG and PG examinations as well as new proposals in the pipeline to not only bring the examination calendar back on track post-Covid disruptions but also to further boost the efficiency of the examination system.
Dr Majid apprised the Vice-Chancellor that among newly-introduced initiatives, the Office of Controller of Examinations has started dispatching transcripts and degree certificates to respective colleges for easy collection by the students soon after the results are declared in order to lessen the inflow of students to the Examination Wing for this purpose. He also said that advance date-sheets, formulated at the start of each semester, are being issued to keep the students updated with their examination dates much in advance.
The Vice-Chancellor appreciated the new initiatives taken, as also those in the pipeline, which aim at bringing a perceptible change in examination domains in near future.
Offering her complete support to student-centric endeavors proposed by the Controller of Examinations, including setting up a state-of-the-art Single-Window System for the student community visiting the Examination Wing to avail different services, Prof Nilofer said the University will also expedite its switch over to DigiLocker for better service delivery to the students.
