MADURAI: The answer script paper valuation in Madurai Kamaraj University (MKU) of undergraduate courses semester examinations is now getting delayed because college teachers are not showing interest to come for paper valuation in the varsity and this is happening right now amidst concern that results are getting delayed.
“MKU is not paying the paper correction charge to teachers coming from colleges. For example, the paper valuation is still due for those teachers who were involved in answer paper valuation in MKU in last December 2022. The bills are yet to be settled. Teachers came from Palani and other places around Madurai at their own expense and our university has not yet paid for them for their TA and DA etc,” MKU sources told ‘Lotus Times’ media in Madurai on July 26th 2023.
Senior faculty members from affiliated colleges of MKU have said today that teachers from colleges are coming from outstation and they are not paid allowances even today. One of the examples is Value Education paper of December 2022 and the teachers who had corrected those answer scripts of MKU students are yet to receive the payment for paper correction.
“How can MKU authorities blame the affiliated and autonomous colleges’ teachers that they are not coming for paper correction work in university? The most affected are those teachers who are coming from self-financing for paper valuation work of semester exams in MKU. Faculty from other colleges are not coming for paper valuation work because they are not being paid properly on time by the university,” sources in MKU said today- on July 26th 2023.
Because of this problem, the MKU is finding it very difficult to declare semester examination results on time and this problem is very severe now in July 2023 because the paper valuation is getting delayed due to lack of adequate number of faculty for paper correction work in the university.
