University Examination Centre

Examination is an important part of higher education and it should not only be used as a control that a student is qualified, but also as an educational tool to influence the learning process. It is a means to evaluate the knowledge of students and it helps the teachers to understand the mental capacity of the students to rectify their shortcomings. In the last two and half decades, the agricultural education in the country has witnessed tremendous growth in terms of number and quality of students admitted to various degree programmes./courses offered in Farm Universities. As a consequence the examination system has become the most important yardstick to test the knowledge acquired by the students.

Over a period of time, separate External Examination Cell has been established at each of the five constituent Colleges of the University, as a consequence to the introduction of External Examination system during 1999-2000, mainly for the purpose of co-ordinating the Examination related activities. Subsequently, the University has established University Examination Center (UEC) at the GKVK campus during the academic year 2011-12. The UEC is responsible for conducting ‘Centralized Common Examination’ across the constituent colleges and it has developed an innovative software called ‘Undergraduate Academic Management (UGAM)’. This Information and Communication Technology tool is used right from student admission to exit (entire study-cycle).
