Frontlist Education | DU open book exam: Unable to upload, students email answer scripts, concerns over secrecyon Aug 13, 2020
This is the first-ever in the history of the university that students are being asked to write their names. Why were University roll numbers not enough? Students fear victimization, said the academic council member.
Technical glitches continued on the second day of Delhi University’s (DU) online open-book exams (OBE) for final-year or semester students, with several alleging that the exam portal crashed in the afternoon, just minutes before students were supposed to submit their answer papers. For students of Sanskrit (Hons), two question papers allegedly downloaded at the same time. Issues of secrecy were also raised with students required to write their names in the email body, in case they submitted answer sheets on email and not the portal – an option many had to choose due to technical errors. Several anxious students who were not sure about what to do due to the failed upload also ended up sending their answer sheets to the nodal officers assigned for their college, again raising issues of confidentiality. “This is the first-ever in the history of the university that students are being asked to write their names. Why were University roll numbers not enough? Students fear victimization. They are nervous about sharing their experiences in the public domain. Parents are equally worried,” said Former Academic Council member Abha Dev Habib.
