Chandigarh News: Panjab University follows CAT, to post answers online

Taking the big leap towards fairness in examinations, Panjab University has decided to follow CAT and post answers of entrance examinations on its website from the next academic session.

With PU conducting entrance tests for various departments like English, law, science and School of Communication Studies, students will be able to view correct answers after their examinations. "Our aim is to bring transparency. Moreover, students will be benefited by knowing what mistakes they committed even before results are declared," said a senior PU official.

In the past, PU has faced allegations from students claiming to have written their tests well, but evaluated incorrectly. This system will supposedly reduce that confusion. "In case students have any problem or don't agree with the answers, they can contact authorities within a stipulated time period. Answersheets will be evaluated once that time for contacting officials for doubts is over," added the official.

Part of PU's computerization project inaugurated a month ago, the move has cheered scholars. "Wow! We can think of other career options in advance if we haven't got our answers correct. Moreover, we can approach authorities in case what they have posted is wrong," said Ramandeep, a BA second year student.
