Chandigarh, Nov 9 (IANS) Panjab University will publish photographs of students on detailed mark sheets and degrees to avoid discrepancies and tampering of results, an official said here Monday.
“This initiative would streamline our system and would bring more transparency in the result procedure. With the printing of student’s photograph, there would be no chance of misusing these documents by any miscreant,” Panjab University Vice Chancellor R.C. Sobti said.

The decision has been taken in the wake of a recent incident in which an employee of the varsity was caught interfering in the revaluation results of two students.

“To make our system more foolproof, special logos will also be attached to the result sheets to maintain their authenticity,” he added.

This decision would be implemented at Panjab University and in all 188 colleges affiliated to this university. Around 250,000 students are studying in these colleges.

Panjab University is one of the oldest universities of the country and was established in 1882. There are over 10,000 students in the university campus here and girls form the majority - nearly 70 percent - of total students.
