Only govt websites may publish II PU results

To avoid the confusion that prevailed after erroneous II PU results were published on private web portals last year, the PU department may host the results only on its official website or on other government department websites. Amid confusion over faulty evaluation of II PU answer scripts and wrong results last year, students also complained of discrepancies in results published on various websites. Primary and Secondary Education Minister Kimmane Rathnakar had also claimed to have filed a first information report (FIR) against at least two private web portals for publishing erroneous results. Pallavi Akurathi, director, Department of Pre-University Education (DPUE) said: "We may host the results only on our own websites or on websites of departments like the Department of Collegiate Education (DCE), Department of Public Instruction (DPI) or the National Informatics Centre.” Akurathi added that the matter would be discussed with the government as well as the departments concerned. "The matter will be taken up with higher authorities,’’ she said, expressing confidence that the proposal would be approved.   Deccan Herald
