The University of Calicut will soon issue a notification to appoint a new Registrar as the tenure of E.K. Satheesh, the incumbent, is about to be completed on February 12.
This was decided at a meeting of the Syndicate held on the campus at Tenhipalam in Malappuram district on Thursday. Dinoj Sebastian, Head of the Department of Life Sciences, will be given temporary charge of Registrar.
The Syndicate also decided to take steps to improve the efficiency of the re-evaluation of answer scripts. The university would set up a panel of expert teachers for the purpose. This comes against the backdrop of the reported complaint against the process. It had been alleged that marks were being illegally granted to students in the guise of re-evaluation of answer scripts.
Teachers from government and aided colleges would be given preference while assigning duty from now. If there is a marked difference of over 30 marks after the re-evaluation, and the teachers who first evaluated the answer denied any lapse on their part, another expert teacher would again check the answer script.
