GTU Forms Panel to Probe Diploma Exam Errors, Students Protest
Imagine a big test with questions that have mistakes.
That's what happened in an Applied Mathematics exam at GTU.
Around 25,000 students took the test, but there were problems in some of the questions.
The university formed a special group to check the errors.
They found that some questions were wrong, so they suggested giving students extra points, like a make-up score, for their mistakes.
They also decided to punish the person who made the test by not paying them for three years and not letting them make exams for two years.
This isn't the first time there have been exam problems at GTU, so the university wants to make sure it doesn't happen again.
GTU formed a committee to investigate errors in the diploma semester-2 Applied Mathematics exam.
The exam errors affected approximately 25,000 students from over 120 colleges.
Corrections were issued late, and many institutions did not receive them in time.
The committee identified multiple question errors and suggested grace marks.
Punitive measures were recommended against the paper setter.
