UDF nominees oppose Sanskrit varsity Syndicate decision to cancel incomplete exam tabulation registers
In a communication to Vice-Chancellor Ciza Thomas, UDF nominees point out that blanket cancellation of decision taken at July 17 Syndicate meet allowing officials, who were found to have not signed on tabulation registers prepared before issuance of final marks lists, is not practical
The United Democratic Front (UDF) nominees of the restructured Syndicate of the Sree Sankaracharya University of Sanskrit (SSUS) in Kerala have requested an amendment to the decision made at a special Syndicate meeting on August 22, 2026, regarding the cancellation of the July 17, 2026 decision. The UDF argues that a complete revocation of the earlier decision is impractical, as it would delay the issuance of degree certificates to students.
They suggest that a probe be conducted into alleged discrepancies in the preparation of tabulation registers for exams held years ago. However, they acknowledge that there are legitimate cases where the process of recording the signatures of officials who previously did not sign is necessary. Senior university officials noted that the August 22 Syndicate meeting held thorough discussions on the identified issues and unanimously decided to cancel the July 17 decision.
An inquiry into the irregularities was also initiated. The issue was discussed in detail and recorded in the Syndicate meeting minutes, specifically item no. 31. The decision required section officers to inform Assistant to Deputy Registrars who had not signed the tabulation registers to record their signatures. Preliminary assessments found that officials were instructed to sign the registers before the official confirmation of the July 17 Syndicate decision.
