NU VC Tears Into Previous Exam Agency, Admin Over Winter Exam Blunders Nagpur University vice-chancellor Manali Kshirsagar launched a scathing critique of the previous examination agency and administration on Tuesday, accusing them of systemic failures that disrupted the Winter 2025 examinations. The VC highlighted a series of missteps, including delays, administrative chaos, and the last-minute hiring of a new agency, which exacerbated the situation. Kshirsagar emphasized that the previous agency’s failure to provide critical data to the new firm led to glitches in the exam process, forcing the university to rely on manual data processing to finalize results. The controversy began when Kshirsagar assumed her role in December 2024, only to discover that the examination timetable had not been finalized. This oversight caused the Winter 2025 exams to start nearly one-and-a-half months late, creating a cascading effect on schedules, evaluations, and result declarations. The VC revealed that repeated attempts to obtain missing data from the previous agency through emails, notices, and direct communication were met with resistance. An inquiry committee was formed, but the agency allegedly failed to cooperate, prompting the university to take matters into its own hands. Kshirsagar announced that legal notices had been issued to the former agency for failing to hand over soft copies of students’ data to the new firm. However, two initial notices were returned due to incorrect addresses, and a third address was recently identified for a fresh attempt. The university’s legal team is now preparing to serve the notice. Additionally, nearly Rs70 lakh in payments to the previous agency has been withheld pending the outcome of the inquiry.#nagpur_university #manali_kshirsagar #winter_2025_examinations #examination_agency #university_legal_team
