The COE‘s office has taken a series of initiatives to streamline the operations of the
examination system based on the feedback received from teachers and also on the
basis of difficulties faced during the process of conducting examinations. The
Examination Committee discusses these issues and decisions are taken to bring in the
required changes. Some of the changes made recently have been: downloadable hall
tickets, bar-coding of answer booklets, error-free mark entry and compilation and
speedy redressal of examination-related grievances.

2.5.10. What is the mechanism for redressal of grievances with reference to
evaluation?

An Examination Grievance Cell addresses all grievances pertaining to continuous
assessment (CA) and the semester exams (SE). Students have to meet the subject
teacher, if they feel that injustice has been done to them. If they are not satisfied with
the evaluation made by a teacher, the matter may be referred to the HOD. The
Examination Grievance Cell could be approached with a written complaint if the
student still feels the issue has not been addressed satisfactorily. If the Cell orders a
re-valuation, the marks awarded after the re-valuation will be final.
