Mangalore University has revised its Ordinance governing the acts of indiscipline and malpractices in the university examinations.
According to P.L. Dharma, a member of the seven-member university committee which revised the Ordinance and who was also a former Registrar (Evaluation) at the university, the revision allows the university to impose fines on both students and teachers for examination related indiscipline and malpractices. It is a major feature of the revision. “The fines prescribed will work as a checkpoint to curb indiscipline and malpractices,” he told The Hindu.
The Academic Council of the university approved the draft of the revision on Wednesday. The draft will be tabled before the Syndicate, the top decision making body of the university, in its meeting on October 12 for its approval. Later it will be sent to the government for approval.
