Examination

The declaration of result is critical to the choice of courses by students for registration in the subsequent term. Hence although the current procedures in regard to the declaration of results by the Board will continue, the Controller of Examination or his nominee would announce subject-wise results on the basis of the statement marks of the students for each course.
This will reduce the time gap between the completion and starting of new semester. The compiled results in respect of each student would, however continue to be provided by the Technical Examination Board.
