The examiners must submit marks to the university within November 21.

The meeting held on the university’s College Street campus discussed ways to ensure timely declaration of results of BA, BSc and B-Com Part-II general examinations.

The university has so long faced much flak for delay in publication of results.

The principals who attended Friday’s meeting were handed a note with the detailed timeline.

All examiners will have to submit the evaluated and scrutinised answer scripts and marks to the principals of respective colleges with marks by November 14. The principals will have to send the scripts to the head examiners concerned by November 16. The marks must be submitted to the university by November 21.

In case of minor subjects that don’t require the involvement of head examiners, the principals have been asked to submit the evaluated answer scripts directly to the controller of examinations department by November 16.

A representative of a principal in a north Calcutta College said the university authorities enquired about the status of evaluation and whether the colleges were facing any problems.

“We explained to the controller of examination that although the examination was held in July, the scripts did not reach the colleges before September. Till date, the university has not sent the full list of head examiners. This was coming in the way of completing the evaluation and submitting marks,” the representative said.

The results are likely to be published in late November.

Repeated calls to the controller of examinations, Jayanta Sinha, went unanswered.

A university official blamed the delay in distribution of scripts on lack of planning. The official admitted that this was the first time such an exercise was being conducted by the university.

“The university would till now restrict itself to sending instructions to colleges. This year the exercise was held on the campus to convey a firm message to the colleges that they should not delay the process,” he said.
