PATNA: Even though the chancellor as well as the state education department has directed the universities to regularise academic sessions by clearing the backlog of examinations and ensuring timely publication of results, academics are sceptical about any immediate improvement in the situation.
At a recent meeting of registrars and examination controllers of the universities held on the directive of governor-cum-chancellor Phagu Chauhan, the universities were directed to hold all the examinations on time and publish the results soon thereafter. They were also directed to distribute certificates and mark sheets to the students as soon as possible after the examinations so that students do not face any difficulty in applying for competitive examinations. The original degrees must also be made available online to the students within two months of the publication of results, they were told.
