Distribution of examination copies
Karachi, Nov 01, 2007: In the coming academic year, a substantial number of the
examination scripts of MA Final (Economics) for external candidates will be sent
to the Federal Urdu University of Arts, Science & Technology (FUUAST),
Jinnah University for Women (JUW) and Mohammad Ali Jinnah University (MAJU) for
marking, said Dr Shafeeq-ur-Rahman, chairman, department of Economics,
University of Karachi (KU).
"We have decided to do this because of the
delays caused by a huge number (about 15,000) of examination copies, of the four
compulsory and five optional papers of the MA (Previous) and about the same
number of MA (Final), for external candidates that are checked by 10 teachers
from the department and some colleges," he said. The teachers submit the checked
copies to the controller of examinations directly. The responsibility of the
respective department's chairman is to provide copies to the examiners.
Rahman said, on Tuesday that all the copies were handed over to
the controller of examinations and, currently, they are being tabulated before
the announcement of the results. "We have 17 teachers in the department. Two
teachers usually do not check the copies and three are on study leave abroad.
The 10 teachers and one from DHA College checked the copies. So every teacher
had to mark more than 1,000 copies. This makes the task difficult," he
explained.
According to him they have to be very careful in providing
examination scripts to the teachers. "We have to be very careful to select the
right teacher from the colleges, who teach economics to the postgraduate
classes, to maintain a certain degree of educational standards," he elaborated.
The other reasons that compounded the problem were unusual closures of the
university, rains and Ramazan. "We have to take in account that all these
factors hampered the progress of the teachers while checking the examination
copies. The News
