PATNA: Patna University (PU) has formally signed an Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with a Bangalore-based software company for computerization of its examination process.
The MoU was signed here on Friday in the presence of PU vice-chancellor Shambhu Nath Singh, registrar Vinhas Kumar Yadav, development officer Sanjay Kumar Sinha and examination controller Binay Soren, and company executives Raghav Narain and Santosh Rastogi.
To start with, the company would process the results of about 12,000 Degree Part I honours examinations of arts, science and commerce streams to be held shortly. From the next year, the examination works of all the courses of PU would be entrusted to this company.
PU computer centre in-charge K P Singh on 15th. April,Sunday said that all the coded answer-books of examinees would be scanned and uploaded on computers. Examiners having their own codes would be handed over the computers for evaluation. The examination results of students would be published within two to three days of evaluation of answer-books, he said.
Day-care centres: For the first time, taking advantage of the UGC's innovative scheme, some girls' colleges of PU are going to set up day-care centres on their respective college premises for the benefit of their faculty members, employees and students. Women's Training College has taken a lead and will be setting up this centre on Tuesday. Such centre will also be set up at Magadh Mahila College shortly.
Women's Training College is set to become the first institution in the city with such a centre for the children of its teachers and other employees. Students with children, too, can avail themselves of this benefit. This centre would take full care of children in a cozy atmosphere. The centre is likely to check absenteeism among the teachers or students having small children and none to look after them at homes.
According to UGC guidelines, a day-care centre should be located away from staircase, toilets, lifts and traffic and should be spread over across at least 800 sq ft. The UGC has provided a one-time grant of Rs 2 lakh to the college for opening such a centre.
