1.4. Problem encountered
Going green means to pursue ways that can lead to more environmentally friendly and ecological
responsible decision and lifestyles, thereby helping to protect the environment and sustain its natural
resources for current as well as future generations. However there are few problems:
Lack of awareness
Handling the wastes during rainy season is a challenge.
Implementation of Pest control (which involves hazardous chemicals).
Accidental fires remains as a threat.
2. Digitalization of examination system (Transparency)
2.1 Objectives of the practice
The main objectives of this practice are
Page 103/131 07-12-2021 10:32:21

To implement Transparent examination system

Easy accessibility to the stakeholders
Speedy announcement of results
Minimum human intervention
Building public trust in the institution
2.2 Context
Examination and evaluation are essential aspects of the higher education system. Examination system are
commonly plagued with the issues of trust, transparency, integrity and credibility of the system. Excessive
involvement of human resource is prone to errors. In order to make the examination system - transparent,
accurate and speedy, innovative alternatives have to be adopted. There are challenges in designing the
question papers, the system of delivery of question papers, conduct of examination and announcement of
results and also issue of marks list and other related certificates. In this context, complete digitization is the
best options to allievate the problems like leakages of question papers, malpractices, and other related
issues.
2.3 Practice
On-line Question Paper Delivery System
The VTU has introduced a unique Question Paper Delivery System (QPDS) to delivery question papers to
all its affiliated engineering colleges and PG centres across the state of Karnataka. For every examination
cycle, close to 25-30 lakh question papers are delivered through an automated online QPDS. The question
papers are delivered through Internet 30 minutes prior to the commencement of the examinations. The
introduction of online question paper delivery has eliminated the chances of question paper leakage.
Further, the process of question paper printing at the colleges can also be monitored from the VTU
headquarters in Belagavi.
Digital valuation
The VTU is the first University in the country to adopt digital evaluation system for evaluation of answer
scripts for UG and PG courses as well as Ph.D coursework examinations. Every semester around 25-30
lakh answer scripts are scanned and each script contains 46 pages.
Advantages of digital valuation:
Computerized window system and online availability of information.

Centralized, secure and robust database of the candidates appearing in the examination without
duplication of records.
Totaling mistakes of marks is being eliminated
Effective monitoring of examination process by the concerned authorities and the possibility of
fraudulent practices is minimized.
Online evaluation of Ph.D. and Post Graduate thesis
Page 104/131 07-12-2021 10:32:21

The VTU is the only university in India to adopt on-line evaluation of M. Tech., MCA, MBA,
M.Tech, M.Arch., M. Sc. (Engg.) by Research and Ph. D. thesis. The submitted theses go through
plagiarism check to ensure academic integrity. Only after clearing the plagiarism test, the thesis is sent to
the examiners for online evaluation. The online thesis evaluation software tracks the status of the thesis
right from submission of the thesis to the submission of report. This process of online evaluation has
greatly reduced the time delays experienced earlier and has taken the entire excersie to new heights in
terms of efficiency , transperancy and elimination of errors.
2.4 Evidence of success
The practice has ensured originality in Ph.D thesis due to plagiarism check.
Effective monitoring of evaluation process by all concerned and possibility of fraud or malpractices
is minimized.
There is a centralized, secure and robust database of the candidates appearing for the examination
without any duplication of records.
Substantial reduction in the time required evaluation and announcement of results.
2.5 Problems encountered and Resources Required
The digital examination system is a very challenging system. Initially the university faced certain problems
in implementing the scheme.
The university introduced the system by outsourcing the facility which increased the dependency
and involved huge cost. To overcome this problem, the VTU has developed an in-house customized
software for managing the system.
The major problem was online connectivity, maintenance of link line and specific type of printer
required. It also required expert manpower to manage the system. Affiliated colleges had to also
develop and maintain required infrastructure with minimum 256 Mbps internet speed and
manpower.
Maintaining time in the delivery of question papers, scanning facility, availability of power, backup
system and the cost to be incurred by affiliated colleges, were the major problems in implementing
the system.
