Ahmedabad: Gujarat University has constituted a seven-member committee to oversee exam-related activities, including appointing observers at centres in Ahmedabad and elsewhere. The panel will have a three-year tenure and will coordinate the deployment of observers, form flying squads, and resolve issues related to exam management, including the payment of honoraria.The committee comprises one convener, two co-conveners and four members. This is the first time the university has created a dedicated panel to handle these responsibilities, which were earlier assigned to individual faculty members, generally through subject coordinators.However, the committee’s composition has sparked discontent among some professors. Sources said most of the seven members belong to the English department, raising questions about the representation of other academic disciplines. Professors have reportedly expressed displeasure over what they see as inadequate representation of faculty members from other subjects on a committee that will oversee exams across the university.
