With the introduction of the digital valuation system, the answer booklets of all the theory exams have changed, and now you have to be very careful while filling the first sheet of the answer booklet as the first sheet will be read by a computer.
Visvesvaraya Technological University, Belagavi (VTU), vide its official circular dated 20th Dec 2017, has made it strict and straightforward that it will not evaluate the answer booklets where the barcodes are damaged or tampered with.
This has been brought to the undersigned notice that some of the students are mutilating barcodes on the answer booklets. This has created a lot of inconvenience for the University and resulted in a delay in the announcement of results. Hence, the Principals/Chief Superintendents of constituent and affiliated engineering colleges are requested to instruct the students not to mutilate the barcodes. If any student mutilates the barcode, such an answer book will not be considered for evaluation.
Kindly bring the contents of this circular to the notice of all the students and also direct the Room Superintendents to announce the same in the examination hall
before the commencement of examinations.
