The Examination section is headed by Controller of Examinations, and is responsible for conducting examinations, declaring results and awarding degrees. The University follows an annual pattern of examination while the Campus Schools follow a Semester system of teaching and examination. The evaluation of the answer sheets is done by external examiners at a Central Assessment Programme. The answer sheets are masked before evaluation so that examiners do not know identity of candidate. The assessed answer sheets are then moderated by another subject expert for discrepancy in assessment, if any. The moderated sheets are scrutinized for checking again whether all questions have been evaluated and whether the total of marks given is correct. The final mark list is then made by unmasking the answer sheets and entering the roll number of student in the mark list. There is no revaluation of the answer sheets to avoid malpractice. There is only re-totaling of marks on application. This method of 100% moderation and scrutiny avoids delay involved in revaluation. The system works efficiently and results are declared within the stipulated 40 days from the date of examination. The results and mark sheets have been completely computerized. The marks given by the examiners/moderators are transcribed into mark sheets by digital scanners avoiding the manual transfer process, thereby eliminating human errors. The examination practices of the University have been appreciated by the Chancellor and the Government and they are being implemented as common standard examination code for all the Universities of Maharashtra.
