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.
