Copies of the first and second year exams had not been evaluated while those of the third and final year exams were evaluated. But the work of processing the results was yet to start. There were 18 courses for which results were awaited.

Anxious students were increasingly taking to social media to draw the university authorities’ attention towards declaration of results that were already delayed. They also complained that the university announced the exam date but did not release the datasheet.

Even the agency that prepares the exam results had not been selected yet.

The university had recently floated a tender for the selection of an agency. Three companies filed a tender, but the bid of two companies was rejected on technical grounds during scrutiny.

The university will again float tender and the process will take around 15-20 days for completion.

According to rules, the result of the final year is to be declared by the end of June. When contacted, vice-chancellor JP Pandey said efforts were on to complete the task of floating tenders. “The process of declaring results will begin soon. Final year results may take some time as it requires tabulation of marks of previous semesters too.”
