Kerala University to abandon K-REAP amid examination glitches
Syndicate withdraws FYUGP results and opts to restore university-controlled software; move coincides with Kannur University’s inquiry into complaints over system introduced by previous LDF government
Kerala University has announced its intention to discontinue the use of the K-REAP e-governance software, following the discovery of errors in examination results. This move comes amid increasing concerns over the software's reliability and its inability to manage various crucial aspects of the university's academic processes. The Syndicate has withdrawn the results of the first and fourth semesters’ supplementary examinations under the Four-Year Undergraduate Programme (FYUGP), citing discrepancies such as results not appearing on students’ profiles, generation of results for non-existent subjects, changes in marks obtained in improvement examinations, and false claims of passing subjects not cleared by students.
In response to these issues, the university plans to restore its own examination software developed by its Computer Centre, which will also be strengthened to better control examination data and address technical or result-related problems. K-REAP, conceived as an integrated digital platform for university administration, has faced criticism from various universities, leading Save University Campaign Committee to petition the Chief Minister, Higher Education Minister, and KSHEC for a withdrawal of the software from educational institutions in Keralam.
