| BIE warns lecturers against marks errors. Posted: 23 Mar 2011 06:20 AM PDT BIE warns lecturers against marks errors. HYDERABAD: A day before the commencement of spot evaluation of Intermediate answer scripts, officials of the Board of Intermediate Education (BIE) on Tuesday warned that criminal cases would be filed against private junior college lecturers if they indulge in faulty evaluation. The new rules state that if a lecturer awards marks lower or higher than what a student deserves, he/she will have to face criminal charges. BIE is yet to discuss with police officials what charges could be slapped against the ‘erring’ lecturers. Intermediate results will be announced on April 25. The board officials also warned that lecturers of the government-aided college and AP residential college will be placed under suspension for five years if they indulge in flawed evaluation. Action will, however, be initiated only if the difference in marks between the first assessment and the second one is higher than 10 per cent. G Balaramaiah, secretary, BIE, said since it was found that several students who had applied for the re-evaluation last year were awarded lower marks than what was due to them, the board decided to introduce stringent measures to reduce such errors. He disclosed that in some of the answer scripts given to the board for reevaluation in 2010, a variation of 20 per cent was found. Over 31,500 evaluators will assess 1.07 crore answer scripts. The process will be completed within 25 days. “We have got enough evaluators. If those figuring on the current list of evaluators do not turn up, board will take action against them too,” said Balaramaiah. “We do not want the evaluators to finish their job in haste, hence decided to give them only one half of the answer scripts to be evaluated in each session,” said the secretary adding that after evaluation, each script will be scrutinised twice by two scrutinisers. The board has also decided to conduct re-exam for 24 students whose answer scripts were damaged in an accident in Warangal recently. The date for the re-exam will be announced later, the BIE said.

| ISB students ‘relieved’ at exit of head Posted: 23 Mar 2011 06:18 AM PDT ISB students ‘relieved’ at exit of head HYDERABAD: Students of the Indian School of Business (ISB) on Monday heaved a sigh of relief at the exit of Rajat K Gupta, the tainted founder-chairman of the premier institute. With Gupta being the third senior management figure to get embroiled in a controversy, the students aired apprehensions about their placement prospects. “We are relieved. The management could have acted swiftly in this matter. Agreed, these are only allegations and nothing’s been proved yet. But this alleged complicity comes with certain amount of risk,” a student told Express on condition of anonymity. Some of them also expressed concern over the eroding brand value of the management school. “The institute has been getting negative publicity over the past two years. It may have an impact in the lon-grun,” said another student. Allaying students’ fears of a possible adverse impact of the controversy on campus placements, Deepak Chandra, deputy dean, ISB had earlier said, “This year has been better than last year. We don’t foresee that SEC charges on Gupta will have any affect on us.” The class of 2011 comprises 570 students who will pass out from the institute this April. For the ISB, the Rajat Gupta affair has come as a double blow to its image. Earlier, another IndianAmerican and former McKinsey consultant and cofounder of ISB, Anil Kumar pleaded guilty in January 2010 to leaking inside information about a possible merger to Rajaratnam, in return for $1.75 million. In 2009, Prof Mendu Ramamohan Rao, then dean, ISB had to step down from the board for failing to perform fiduciary duties as a board member of the scamhit Satyam Computer Services Ltd.

| Intermediate results before April 25. Posted: 23 Mar 2011 06:15 AM PDT Intermediate results before April 25. HYDERABAD: The results of Intermediate examinations will be released before April 25 and efforts were on in that direction. Board of Intermediate Education (BIE) Secretary G. Balaramaiah assured parents that all steps have been taken for fair valuation and one need not have any doubts. The number scripts to be revalued by the chief examiner have been reduced to 15 from 24. 15 scripts per session Similarly, examiners will get only 15 scripts only per session. The number of scripts to be scrutinised by the scrutinizer have also been reduced to 150 from 180. A second scrutinizer has also been appointed to check the scrutinised scripts. These measures, he felt will reduce on pressure on the examiners. This year 1.7 crore scripts will be valued by more than 42,000 examiners at various levels. Mr. Balaramaiah said that the government is contemplating to take stern disciplinary action on erring examiners as per CCA rules in case of Government, Aided and A.P. Residential College lecturers and criminal proceedings in case of private college lecturers and managements. Valuation will be done in three spells at 24 different spot valuation camps. Separate exam With regard to scripts damaged in an accident, he said 24 OMR sheets were found damaged and the students have also been identified. A separate exam would be held for those 24 students.

| Sensitise people on sanitation, hygiene: JNTUK V-C Posted: 23 Mar 2011 06:12 AM PDT Sensitise people on sanitation, hygiene: JNTUK V-C VIZIANAGARAM: Vice-Chancellor of JNTUK Allam Appa Rao has said students have a responsibility to transform society through voluntary service particularly in rural areas where sanitation and hygiene are appalling. He asked students of the university to go back to villages and educate people on sanitation and hygiene as 60 per cent of rural women are suffering from cervical cancer and water borne diseases. Stressing on the need to propagate the idea of service to society at a seminar on "Water for an urbanising world", organised by Bharati Theertha’, an NGO, at the campus college here on the occasion of World Water Day on Tuesday, Dr. Appa Rao asked students to motivate people on water conservation. He said the university had launched 'lab-to-land’ and began testing water samples in its lab.Collector M. Veerabrahmaiah said according to recent Census 20 per cent of the people from villages seem to have migrated to municipal areas for better living conditions and feared that it might touch 40 per cent by 2020. Prakasam Tata, Executive Director, Centre for Transformation of Waste Technology, who hails from the fort town, stressed on people’s participation to reduce toxic levels in water. Managing Director of CTWT John (Jack) R. Sheaffer, Consulting Engineers Arthur Anthonisen and Deepak Kantawala were among those present. Source : The Hindu |
