2.5.6. What is the average time taken by the College for declaration of
examination results? Indicate the mode / media adopted by the College for the
publication of examination results e.g., website, SMS, email, etc.

The College publishes its undergraduate examination results within ten days of the
conduct of the last examination. The results are uploaded to the College website.
Since the postgraduate courses follow the system of double valuation, it takes longer,
as the College has to wait for the external examiner‘s convenience. Once all papers
have been valued for a particular course, the result is released.

2.5.7. Does the College have an integrated examination platform for the
following processes?
∗ Pre-examination processes – Time table generation, OMR, student list
generation,

*Time table generation
Yes, the COE‘s office is a well-planned and organized set-up with adequate
manpower and resources. Timetable generation is done by the COE keeping in mind
the College calendar and the dates fixed for the conduct of examinations.

*Student list generation
The student list is generated nearly ten days before the examination when hall tickets
are announced on the College website after meetings among the Welfare Officers and
the Examination Committee. Adherence to prescribed attendance requirement, as per
the norms of Bangalore University, for qualifying to write the examination is taken
into account. Genuine issues faced by some students during the year due to
participation in national and international events like Republic Day Parade and sports
are taken into consideration, and adjustments are made accordingly. The examination
fee is collected along with annual College fees.

∗ Examination process – Examination material management, logistics
The College procures the stationery well in advance with the support of the finance
committee. The answer booklets are now bar-coded for increased confidentiality.

*Preparation of Evaluators list
The COE invites the HODs to provide a list of teachers, both internal and external,
who can be assigned the task of setting question papers. Once the list of question-
paper setters is received by the COE, he contacts the designated faculty, and indicates
the papers to be set, together with code numbers, and dates by which they need to be
sent.

*Question-paper setters
Internal question-paper setters are required to submit their question papers to the
COE. External examiners also submit question papers to the COE. Teachers are
informed about the need for maintaining secrecy at all costs. In this way, the College
has been able to maintain secrecy regarding question paper setting.
