Panel to look into fake marks card racket: Doubts about the Committee as both VC and Registrar on leave

July 28, 2017

Mysuru: KSOU has constituted a 12-member teachers’ committee to look into admission, marks card printing, valuation, coding and decoding, custodians of confidential papers and convocation. In an agreement with a Mumbai-based company IEM the work was entrusted to them in 2013. However, nearly 60,000 to 70,000 marks cards printed by them has been cancelled as it carried a lot of mistakes. All of them have been recovered.

To look into the discrepancies, the committee has been set up, said the KSOU Registrar (Evaluation) Prof. Rangaswamy. Since the KSOU marks card racket has come to light with the arrest of five persons and three others from KSOU taken into custody, the issue has taken a serious turn. However, to set up a committee belonging to the same institution, has raised many eyebrows.

Also, the permission of the KSOU Management Board has not been taken and added to this, the Registrar of the Open University is on leave. The whole process of setting up the committee in his absence has led to a lot of suspicion.

One more reason to raise doubts is that even the KSOU VC Prof. D. Shivalingaiah has proceeded on long leave.

    Great News! Registrar of KSOU is on leave and the VC is on long long leave. Yet they have formed a committee to do what?
    Now, in the current scenario, no body in this world believes KSOU and even if a student has scored sincerely, it becomes thoroughly useless.
    It is better the Karnataka Govt should interfere immediately and solve the problems of KSOU with the help of UGC.

  2. dr GOVINDA says:

    Another surprising news is that VC Prof Shivalingaiah has taken leave and is trying for the post of VC at Tumkur Univ which has become vacant. and more over Prof Shivalingaiah had worked as Registrar of Tumkur univ for 7 or 8 yrs and has a big chance to become VC of Tumkur univ. This is only inside information as there hundreds of aspirants for the same. Atleast now the triers will be very less for the so called KSOU as there are innumerable problems which are never ending. Any way good luck Prof. Shivalingaiah.
