On Friday, Mumbai University assured the Bombay HC that it has taken all the necessary steps to ensure that the problems faced with the introduction of the on-screen assessment system during the summer semester are not repeated in the winter semester.
“The technical glitches encountered by the university in the bygone examination, are taken care of and streamlined,” stated an affidavit filed by the university through its advocate Rui Rodrigues.
Rui also clarified that all the anxieties raised in various petitions have been taken care of. “You have miserably failed,” pointed out the court, to which, Rodrigues said this did not mean “that they would fail again”.
He also informed the court that university is continuing with the same service provider and has also added a five minute video tutorial which is compulsory for all the teachers to view.
“It is only when they have finished watching the video that the fist answer booklet will be provided to them for carrying out assessment. Such a procedure has been established to avoid any lacunae or technical difficulties,” it said.
A meeting was also held with the teachers to further streamline the system. “The principal secretary of higher education should filed a reply in this matter by next Wednesday,” said the court.
