Medical students allege anomalies in KUHS exam

Thiruvananthapuram: The Kerala University of Health Sciences (KUHS), which is imposing exam fee that is said to be the highest among the other universities in the country for PG Exams, is alleged to be taking the students for a ride with the University not providing the basic services.

The PG Students allege that the University, which was charging a fee of about Rs 10,000 for the exam, was not having a centralised evaluation system and a unified scoring system. However, the University claims that the fees was not higher and the students were provided the best service. The students are also gearing up for an agitation, demanding transparency in the exam process.

Stating that no proper evaluation was taking place, Kerala Medical Postgraduates Association state president Dr M Anas said ''even though the University says that the valuation is foolproof because of triple evaluation, the marks that has been provided by the first evaluator will be mostly followed by the others. '' He said that the Association demanded a centralised valuation system, where there will be no victimisation.

Pointing out that they were denied revaluation, he said ''the PG exam conducted by KUHS is not different from the exams of other universities. When there is revaluation for all exams conducted by the different universities, why there is no revaluation for the PG course conducted by KUHS,'' he said.


''When the colleges were under the Kerala University, the fees was just Rs 2,000. But now the charges have reached about Rs 10,000 and the university has said that there will be a ten per cent yearly increase,'' Anas said.
