New Delhi : As the Delhi University first phase of OBE is coming to an end, the stress level among teachers is increasing. The evaluation process for first phase has been started from August 20.
Online Evaluation in DU OBE first Phase
The evaluation procedure will be completely online this year. Teachers and professors are allotted with login id and password for evaluating answer sheets. Teachers tasked to evaluate thousands of answer scripts.
Normally, each teacher gets 25 copies to check but in these tough times university is providing them to evaluate thousands of answer sheets. Teachers are also worried about the evaluation scheme so that every student will be marked equally.
A teacher-evaluator in the commerce department was confronted with 1700 answer sheets. While mathematics teacher has been left over with 800 copies.
Pankaj Garg, a signatory, described the evaluation burden as “not only unjust but also unethical”. In this new online evaluation process teachers need to login with the provided ID and passwords and are guided to their dashboards to access answer sheets assigned to them by the examination department.

A teacher at Sri Venkateswara College, said, “When I logged in to access the complex analysis answers, I was alarmed to see 1,560 sheets. Later, I found there were around 408 answer sheets.” During the offline evaluation process, teachers received a bundle with 25 answer scripts in a day.
Two mathematics teachers claimed to have got, respectively, 888 and 930 answer scripts. The worst off seem to be commerce evaluators who have been left handling around 1,700 answer sheets. A professor of the commerce department remarked, “How can you assure quality evaluation when a teacher is loaded with so many answer papers?”
Garg, who teaches mathematics in Rajdhani College, said asking an examiner to look at so many answer scripts was against regulations. “A teacher can be asked to evaluate around 150 answer sheets maximum,” he insisted, while also complaining that teachers who did not teach particular subjects had been assigned assessment of those.
