The following news item from Times of India (Dated Sunday, September 15, 2013) is highly disturbing and trying to expose the rot that is eating into the vitals of learning in the historical Madras University:
The K.Aludia Pillai Commission appointed by the university in December 2011 named 16 officials in its report probing whether university employees tampered with the mark sheets of candidates who appeared for the B.E/B.Tech and Institute of Distance Education Examination in May/June 2011. The rigging of marks helped several engineering and IDE students pass.
The Universityof Madras has decided to terminate the services of one employee and stop increments and pay of 15 others as punishment for tampering with marks
There may be attempts to save these employees as usual by the unions and politicians. Let us watch and await the final scene of this episode.
What will happen to the fate of those students who would have got some benefits by now. Perhaps nobody bothers to look into this aspect.
God knows for how may years this sort of fraud and manipulation was going on till now. University of Madras has certainly lost its prominence and reputation for several decades to come.
This is of course an opportunity to set right the system and improve its working. Who has the time and guts to execute it?
