PTU to have online exams from next academic year

Punjab Technical University (PTU) is planning to conduct its examinations on-line from the next academic year.

Talking to The Pioneer at Cordia Institute of Business Management at Khamanon on Saturday, Dr Nachhatar Singh, registrar of the University said that there were around 3.75 lakh students of the University and conducting examination of them required man power at a large scale. Besides this, process also consumed lot of time, he said, adding that the on-line examination would enable the university to announce the results without any delay.

Replying to the question regarding the poor image of the University in academic fields, the registrar said that the basic reason if it was the unplanned expansion under which 288 study centres were granted to facilitate the students enrolled. Besides, the University had not required staff to deal with the academic affairs so now the academic staff was being recruited to bring the university back on its lines before the beginning of the coming academic year, informed the registrar.

Nachhatrar Singh said that now the target of the university was to quality education not the quantity of students. He disclosed that they had written to the All India Council of Technical Education (AICTE) not to allow opening of the new technical colleges. It is worth mentioning here that during the recent past 45 per cent seats in Engineering courses, 25 per cent in management institutes and 75 per cent seats in Pharmacy colleges remained vacant so there was no logic to open other such institutes.

He further said that it was the need of the hour to change the present syllabus to meet with the changing requirement of the industrial world so the university had involved the CII to develop the syllabus of the courses.

The Registrar admitted that most of the study centres were not able to facilitate the students by providing them good academic environment. He informed that the University was considering a proposal under which the study centres would have to conduct classes on specific days and organise personal contact programmes also.

He said that at the time of grating extensions, the University would also ensure the location of such centres at appropriate places.

Nachhatar Singh said that instead of much focusing on the high profile courses the University was going to develop courses for self employment.
