Suspected Leak of UGC -NET Question Paper -Dec 2011
by mithun raj 26 Dec '11

26 Dec '11

Dear friends, I wrote UGC-NET exam, Dec 2011 in LIS at Vidyadhiraja Vidya Bhavan, Aluva, Kerala conducted under Cochin University of Science and Technology (CUSAT). We were shocked to find that question booklets for Paper 2 and Paper 3 were duplicates of an original booklet. Instead of the coloured normal seal it beared a plain white sticker. So the seriel no of the booklet was same for all the candiates in LIS who wrote exam at this centre. The booklets of Paper 1 (General) and Paper 2 and 3 for other subjects were not faulty. When canditates raised objection, we were told to finish the exam and register a complaint afterwards. Candidates have given a written complaint to the UGC NET exam co-ordinator of CUSAT. A copy will be sent to UGC also. Some Malayalam channels reported the incident. The unverified information we got from different sources tell CUSAT does not recieved question booklets from UGC on time. Later on a copy was faxed from UGC to CUSAT and they photocopied the entire thing. If this is true, the questions of an important national exam were exposed to different people much before the exam. If CUSAT did not recieved the original booklets from UGC, then where it went missing? An inquiry should be made immedietly into this matter and the exam should be cancelled. On behalf of candidates who wrote exam at CUSAT centre, I register strong protest aganist the mismanagement of UGC NET -2011 and making a mockery of the candidates who wrote the exam all over India. -- Mithun Raj M.

GOC/RBI Conversion Rates
by Mahendra Kumar Vishwakarma 23 Dec '11

23 Dec '11

We are also using RBI rates for the conversion but some of the vendors/sellers of books have the objection. They ask us "RBI do not sell any currency and they provide the indicative rates only and based on these indicative rates other Banks are doing business and fix the rates of buying and selling of foreign currency". It is my personal opinion that you may select the bank rates of a nationalized bank in which your institution has the bank account. -- *M.K.
