Shivamogga
A mistake in calculation of marks by the staff of Keladi Shivappa Nayaka University of Agricultural and Horticultural Sciences (UAHS) in Shivamogga district during recruitment of assistant professors proved costly for a well-qualified candidate. Dr. Shruthi did not get the job as her score in the post-graduation course was miscalculated.
Ms. Shruthi, who completed her studies at UAS Bengaluru, had applied for the post of assistant professor in the Department of Soil Science and Agricultural Chemistry in response to a recruitment notification issued by the university on January 24, 2019. She was one of the five candidates selected to be interviewed for a post reserved for women of Scheduled Caste. Of the five candidates, only two, including Ms. Shruthi, appeared for the interview on November 19, 2022. Ms. Shruthi was not selected for the post.
