Addressing the meeting, Mangalore University Vice-Chancellor Professor T C Shivashankra Murthy said that if there is a difference between marks awarded initially and on Challenge Valuation, the final marks shall be the average of the two awards.

Grace marks shall not be taken into consideration for eligibility for refund of the challenge evaluation fee.

 

“Challenge valuation is permitted for all theory papers only. Answer scripts will be evaluated by a suitable external examiner selected from the panel of examiners approved by the Vice-Chancellor.

Accordingly a committee was formed under the chairmanship of the Vice-Chancellor to draft the 12th plan proposals and a document titled “ Inclusive and Qualitative Expansion of Higher Education” is prepared.

 

The proposals are presented in two scenarios and are further classified under Capital Head, General Head and Salary Head.

 

Under scenario I the University has proposed Rs 40.5 crores as the required fund.

 

In scenario II Rs 65.80 crores has been proposed as the required fund.
