Nilamber Pitamber University (NPU) in Daltonganj is actively formulating a plan to implement significant examination reforms. This decisive move comes in response to a prolonged backlog of exams, which has severely disrupted the university's academic calendar and delayed sessions.
Backlog Exams Identified as Major Impediment
University Vice Chancellor, Professor Dinesh Kumar Singh, explicitly identified the conduct of backlog examinations as a primary obstacle. In a conversation with TOI, Singh stated that these pending exams are a major impediment preventing the institution from catching up with its scheduled academic sessions. The delay has created a cascading effect, putting the entire academic schedule behind.
University's Plan for a Resolution
The university administration is now channeling its efforts towards a structured solution. Professor Singh confirmed that the critical issue of the exam backlog will be formally presented before the University Exam Board. This board is the highest governing body within NPU for academic assessments. The VC indicated that seeking a definitive resolution from this board is a priority for the new year.
Seeking Systemic Reform
The planned reforms are not just a stop-gap measure but aim at systemic change. The goal is to devise a sustainable examination mechanism that can prevent such significant backlogs from accumulating in the future. By addressing the root cause, NPU hopes to stabilize its academic schedule and ensure timely completion of sessions for all its students.
The situation highlights the operational challenges faced by universities in managing examination processes. A resolution from the Exam Board is eagerly awaited by students and faculty alike, as it will determine the roadmap for bringing the academic sessions back on track at Nilamber Pitamber University.
