Mysore varsity to look into K-SET ‘discrepancies’

Mysuru MP had written to V-C after candidates complained about flawed answer keys

University of Mysore Vice-Chancellor G. Hemantha Kumar on Thursday said the allegations of discrepancies in answer keys of K-SET conducted in July and other issues raised by Mysuru MP Pratap Simha will be looked into. “We will clarify to the MP after going into the issues taken up by him. The issue of flawed answer keys has been brought to the notice of the respective subject committee,” he added. Reacting to the MP’s letter to him on the alleged lapses in the conduct of this year’s K-SET, the V-C said all 41 subjects for which the K-SET was conducted had subject committees with experts roped in locally and outside. A total of 17 ‘incorrect’ answer keys in the letter were pointed out, Prof. Kumar said, “So many answer keys going wrong appears unlikely. Anyway, we will examine every issue raised. If required, we can also consider giving grace marks if there was an error in the questions asked in the paper.”
