Goa University preventing its students from full access to their own answerbook, illegally.

Prof. V.P Kamat,Registrar Goa University

Goa University under the Reign of the Registrar Shri. V.P Kamat and along with other members of academic council have been preventing transparency in the examinations conducted by the University, they are trying very hard to prevent the evaluated answerbooks from getting into hands of the students,why? Of course so that they can manipulate the results as per their will, due to restriction on the disclosure of evaluated answerbooks of the students the possibility of corrupt practices cannot be ruled out. The faults of examiners are never brought on record and there is no need to do so,because the Registrar Shri.V.P Kamat and the members of the academic council have ensured that “nobody will come to know”  about  what they have done in evaluation of the answerbooks, this has been ensured by issuing a circular dated 20/5/2011 bearing GU/EXAMS/55/2011/338.

The Registrar Shri.V.P Kamat  through the said circular forces the students to mention the reason for asking photocopies of answerbooks as for “perusal only”. what he means is that the students should tell him “show me my answerbook for a minute and I will pay you Rs 250”.

Whatever The reasoning  Shri. V.P Kamat may have done for charging a student Rs.250 just to see his answerbook for few minutes will surely prove his competence if made public.

Further shri/V.P Kamat puts another restriction on the students that No verification/No revaluation/No grievances of any kind will be accepted after the photocopies are shown for few minutes.

Now the question which arises is Why is Shri. V.P Kamat  wants the students to see their answerbooks for few minutes  by paying Rs.250/- ???? only to show the world that the Goa University “Discloses answerbooks”?? or to silent the students for once and forever??

Well I doubt if Shri.V.P Kamat have any answer to this questions.

Further to leave no other way for the students to have a full access to their answerbooks  the Registrar of the Goa University Shri.V.P Kamat further declares that Photocopies of answerbooks shall not available under Right to Information Act,by doing this The Registrar has confirmed his competence.

The Registrar Shri.V.P Kamat has no authority under any of the laws to make such a declaration that answerbooks shall not be available under RTI Act.he has acted without authority and have violated the provisions of the Right to Information Act 2005 and thus is guilty of contravening the CCS Conduct rules especially the Rule (3)1.

As per the provision of the RTI Act 2005 the Goa University or here the Honorable Registrar Shri.V.P Kamat is permited to make rules to carry out the provisions of the Right to Information Act 2005 only under Section 27,section 28 and section 29 of the RTI act,that to under a statutory condition that the any rule made have to be made by way of notification in the Official Gazette of the Goa Govt.which have not been done.

A complaint have already been filed with the Vigilance on 18^th January 2013 against the Registrar Shri. V.P Kamat and the members if the Academic Council.
