Usually, Bangalore University (BU) declares results late. But this year, that has changed. The university declared the results for some of its engineering courses in less than 90 minutes of conducting the last exam. On Saturday, BU announced the results of final semester BE in Civil and Mechanical engineering streams.

Why the rush?

Many final semester engineering students were waiting desperately for the results as many of them had job offers in hand and have to submit their scorecard by September 15. A few others are also eyeing the public works department (PWD) posts for which September 16 is the last date to apply.
Hence, University Visvesvaraya College of Eng-ineering (UVCE, which is affiliated to BU) had to race against time, claimed the college’s principal HN Ramesh.

Ramesh told BM that final year exams were delayed this year due to the outbreak of covid-19.
Then, following the UGC’s guidelines, the theory papers were held on September 1, 3, 5 and 8 and the practicals began from September 9.

The university asked evaluators to begin their jobs from the next day of the exam itself.

However, the challenge was the exam on September 8 after which they needed to quickly evaluate the answer sheets.
The tabulation for the theory papers were carried out and when the practical exams concluded at 5 pm on Saturday, the marks were added to the theory papers and the results were declared.
The results were announced by 6.30 pm.

Over the last five months, several faculty members from distance education courses or universities conducting online education have gone mute, say students. Students have made several complaints to the universities that their distance education courses have come to a halt and there is no communication from the university. Neither are online classes conducted nor are any materials updated on the websites.
When the pandemic hit the state, many universities decided to call off the physical classes and conducted online classes to complete their syllabus. The Ministry of Education also allowed conducting online examinations at the university or college level. But, between all these orders and guidelines, the distance education programme students have been suffering.
A student said, “We are in our first-year post-graduation program and we have paid our fees last year. Technically our first year is almost coming to an end in a month or so. But we have not had classes, no assignments have been given and no information on the first-year exams. The university said that due to the pandemic, the academic year has been affected.”

Professor BC Mylarappa, in-charge director of Bangalore University’s distance education department said, “We are thinking of starting physical classes from September 5 so why should we bother with online classes? The government is saying Karnataka State Open University (KSOU) is the only university that should run distance education. So, we do not know what to do.”
While Mylarappa openly agreed that no classes for distance education have been conducted, students questioned their completion of the year. Another student said, “I have applied for National Eligibility Test (NET) test and I’m also pursuing my Master’s Degree at KSOU. Even after a year, my academic year is not over. If my NET results are declared I will need my Master’s Degree in a year to apply. But nothing has happened at the university, not even online classes.”

Professor Lingraju Gandhi, registrar of KSOU said, “There are departments who are conducting the online classes. We are also waiting for the Directorate of Distance Education to release the academic year schedule for the upcoming semesters. On the basis on that, we will take a call on how we need to adjust classes. But, for the pending years, we have already called for examinations and applications are open.”
KSOU Vice-Chancellor Professor Vidyashankar said that he would look into the matter.

New Delhi: The e-commerce unit of payment solutions provider Paytm, Paytm Mall, on Sunday said it has not found any security lapses yet after investigating claims of a possible hack and data breach.

The clarification came after US-based cyber research firm Cyble had said a hacker group with the alias ‘John Wick’ was able to gain unrestricted access to Paytm Mall’s databases.”We would like to assure that all user, as well as company data, is completely safe and secure… We have been investigating the claims of a possible hack and data breach, and haven’t found any security lapses yet,” a Paytm Mall spokesperson said in a statement.

The spokesperson added that the company invests heavily in data security, and also has a Bug Bounty programme under which it rewards responsible disclosure of any security risks. “We extensively work with the security research community and safely resolve security anomalies,” the spokesperson said.

Cyble, in a blog, had said: “…it appears the actor gained access to their production database and potentially affects all accounts and related information at Paytm Mall”.Cyble said based on information available to it, the hack happened “due to an insider at Paytm Mall” and noted that the claims, however, are unverified. “Our sources also forwarded us the messages where the perpetrator also claimed they are receiving the ransom payment from the Paytm Mall as well. Leaking data when failing to meet hackers’ demands is a known technique deployed by various cybercrime groups, including ransomware operators.

At this stage, we are unaware that the ransom was paid,” Cybele said. The perpetrator had reportedly demanded 10 ETH (Ethereum) equivalent to USD 4,000. Cyble said it has reached out to Paytm Mall for any comments and is awaiting to hear back.

“After much consideration, we decided to conduct JEE Main from September 1 to September 6, we had already delayed it twice. NEET exam was supposed to take place on May 3 but now it is on September 13,” the minister said.

“Students’ protection comes first and education later. We are trying to balance these two. From April 5 to April 11, NEET examination was supposed to happen but we postponed it. We acted upon the situation now we have planned these exams from September 1. We have already postponed it (the entrance exams) twice. These are the apex court’s order. There are problems but we don’t know when COVID-19 will get over,” said Pokhriyal.

These exams have been deferred twice in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic. The JEE-Mains was originally scheduled to be held from April 7 to 11, but postponed to July 18 to 23, NEET-UG was originally scheduled for May 3, then pushed to July 26. They were postponed again and are now scheduled in September.
