With Bad Hand Writing You May Get Zero Marks..

Engineering students with a bad handwriting may get zero marks:-

Engineering students with bad handwriting may end up getting zero marks, according to a Mumbai University circular.

A notice was issued to students as part of guidelines for answering papers for a newly-introduced online assessment process. Answer-sheets of engineering students taking exams this month will be assessed online as a pilot project. It will be extended to other faculties in subsequent semester-end exams.

The university has listed nine guidelines for students. "If examiners do not understand handwriting, students will get zero marks. This should be noted by students," the circular stated. Another point, which many students said they were not informed about before the exams, was the requirement to use a black ball pen. Since the paper has to be scanned and uploaded for online assessment, it was a pre-requisite to avoid staining the other side of sheets.

A student said, "We are engineering students and they are testing us on the understanding of the subject, not writing skills. Even if our handwriting is poor, they cannot give zero marks." A final year repeater who wrote the paper on November 25 said they were not informed about the pen notification.
