DAVV Treads Cautiously On Digital Evaluation After CBSE Online Assessment Irregularities In Indore

Indore, Madhya Pradesh: After irregularities surfaced in CBSE's online evaluation process, Devi Ahilya Vishwavidyalaya (DAVV) is proceeding cautiously with its intention to implement digital assessment for answer sheets. The university initiated a thorough examination of the proposed system, convening a committee that scrutinized proposals from three firms vying for the task.

On Thursday, the committee scrutinized the workflow of these agencies, focusing on the coding, decoding, scanning, and secure digital storage of answer sheets. A subsequent meeting next week will deliberate on making scanned answer sheets accessible online to evaluators.

DAVV has been gearing up for online evaluations for about six months, initially intending to commence with MBA second-semester answer sheets. However, the university has since postponed the implementation by several months. The decision leans towards government agencies over private companies, and the preference is for those with experience in Madhya Pradesh.

All three agencies presented their proposals, with MPCOM's services currently being evaluated. The envisioned system will also incorporate an online review mechanism, enabling students to view their scanned answer sheets and submit objections electronically. This initiative aims to bolster transparency and provide students with a platform to voice their concerns regarding the evaluation process.

The committee comprised Registrar Prajwal Khare, Exam Controller Prof Ashesh Tiwari, Evaluation Centre In-Charge Prof Rajendra Singh, IT Centre In-Charge Anand More, and Yogendra Bawal. Tiwari informed that the committee deliberated on the proposals and meticulously analyzed the intricate details of the proposed online evaluation process.
