CHENNAI: Anna University is likely to conduct a re-exam for engineering students from the first week of June. Students who have appeared for third, fifth, seventh semester online exams in February can appear for the unsupervised test, to be conducted online. The exam is optional for students.
“Students will write the exam in pen and paper mode. They can answer a maximum of 30 pages and the university will follow the old question paper pattern,” a principal of an engineering college, who attended the meeting conducted by Anna University, said. The university conducted a meeting with college principals to explain the new mode of exams.
The questions will carry 100 marks and the exam duration is three hours. “The question papers will be sent to respective colleges 30 minutes before the exam. After the exam, the students need to upload the scanned answer sheets and original answer sheets to the websites of their colleges,” another principal said.
The university will evaluate the regional level to declare results.
Following complaints of poor results from students, the Tamil Nadu government directed Anna University to conduct re-exams for students who appeared for the online test in February. Out of 4.25 lakh students who appeared for the online test, the university declared the results of 2.3 lakh students and withheld the results for others for suspected malpractices.
Out of 2.3 lakh students, only 1.1 lakh have cleared the exam.
“The results of students who are involved in malpractices alone have been withheld,” a source in the university said.
The university also declared the results of first-year students on Saturday. The first-year exams were conducted in March. Colleges said the first-year results were not as bad as those of the senior students.
