Polls may hit MU assessment work
Teachers claim they will have to juggle
between the tasks of setting of question papers, supervision and managing exam
work. Benny Shah, a teacher said
Mumbai: Due to the
assembly elections scheduled to be held on October 21, degree college teachers
affiliated to the Mumbai University (MU) have claimed they will not have
sufficient time to complete their assessment work. Teachers have stated they
are loaded with electoral duties and this will delay the correction of answer
papers by a few days.
Teachers claim they
will have to juggle between the tasks of setting of question papers,
supervision and managing exam work. Benny Shah, a teacher said,
“As soon as we finish
invigilation duty, we will have to run for electoral work. This will not give
us time to go to the Centralised Assessment Process (CAP) centres to correct
the answer scripts.”
Over 68 examinations
for various degree programmes that were to be held on October 21 and 22 have
been postponed by the university because of the clash of dates with elections.
Harshika Pednekar, a
teacher said, “We are glad the university rescheduled the exams on these two
dates, as this will give us sufficient time to manage the electoral work.”
Despite this
rescheduling and bunching of duties for teachers, MU has made it clear it will
brook no delays. Teachers have been instructed by MU authorities to complete
their assessment on time, to avoid delay in the declaration of results.
A senior MU official
said, “We cannot afford any kind of delay in the assessment work. Teachers need
to finish the paper correction as per schedule so that we can declare the
winter semester results on time.”
