Panjab University took a major leap on Tuesday in field of examination reforms by launching Examination Grievance Monitoring System (EGMS). PU Vice-Chancellor Prof Arun Kumar Grover formally launched the EGMS, which will help the students to file examination related grievances which in turn will be sorted out by the University in a time bound manner.
The facility would be available to all the students of PU Campus and its affiliated colleges. For availing the facility, the candidates would have to just post their grievance through e-mail examgrievances@pu.ac.in in a prescribed format, in which one would have to give their roll number, name, class, session, grievance type, brief description and contact number.
PU students having grievances related to roll number not received, DMC or degree certificate not received, result related enquiry, re-evaluation result enquiry, fee related enquiry, correction in form, wrong subject, problem in examination form, submission of documents and any other examination related issue can email their enquiries to the examination branch. Prof Grover said that the step would add another dimension to the convenience of the students.
