THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The report of Comptroller and Auditor-General has observed that students who had not qualified in the entrance exam were admitted to the six affiliated engineering colleges of the Kerala University. The report which was tabled in the Assembly on Tuesday pointed out that in 2008, 33 students admitted to Mary Matha College of Engineering and 25 students admitted to Travancore Engineering College, Kollam, had not qualified in the entrance examination conducted by the Commissioner for Entrance Examinations. Similarly, during 2009, 96 students admitted to K R Gouri Amma College of Engineering, Alappuzha, had not qualified in the entrance examination conducted by the CEE. In an apparent dig at the functioning of the Kerala University, the report said that the functioning of the scrutiny boards to check question papers was ineffective.The presence of out-of-syllabus questions in significant number of question papers showed that the scrutiny boards were not functioning effectively, the report said. Among the other major findings in the report are that changes in final marks on revaluation ranged between 56 and 59 per cent in test-checked cases, delay of 95 to 328 days in completing revaluation of answer sheets during 2007-09 and loss of answer sheets due to inept handling.
