: With no clarity on when the examination results would be published, students affiliated to the Mahatma Gandhi University are worried about their future. The inordinate delay has mostly affected the prospects of final year postgraduate students, who appeared for their fourth semester examination in July.

While most of the universities outside the State and a few like the Kerala University in the State have already published the results, chief examiners of MGU just started re-examining the answer sheets on Friday. Teachers of affiliated colleges claim that they had submitted the answer sheets to the University after home valuation way back in October.

The worst part in the ongoing deadlock remains the mammoth delay in the publication of the first semester results of the first-batch of undergraduate students, who are now in their third semester.Almost a year after the examinations were held, the office of the controller of examinations still gropes in the dark and remains clueless on when the results could be published. The Hindu has learnt that the computer wing has not yet resolved numerous errors that popped up after the final tabulation of the results.

Confusion also prevails over how to overcome the hurdles that emerged after the evaluation pattern was changed from the earlier grading system to the mark system based on the recommendation made by the late Prof. B. Hridayakumari committee on choice-based credit and semester courses.
