Set up panel to monitor self-financing colleges: MUTA

By Our Staff Reporter

MADURAI, APRIL 27. The Madurai Kamaraj - Manonmaniam Sundaranar University Teachers' Association (MUTA) has urged the State Government to constitute a committee to go into the working of self-financing colleges and the conduct of examinations in all universities.

In a statement here today, the MUTA urged the Madurai Kamaraj University to take action against the management of the self-financing college at Periyakulam, which had been the source of the recent leak of question papers of undergraduate examinations.

It asked the university to make the examination system foolproof. The absence of external invigilators, it said, had emboldened the college authorities to indulge in such malpractices. Hence, the university should appoint external invigilators for all examination centres.

The MUTA said some of the self-financing colleges abetted such crimes to boost their results, with a view to luring more students. The staff members of self-financing colleges were paid a pittance, which, it said, had become a main cause for this malpractice.
