OU VC directs autonomous colleges to upload marks on cloud
Osmania University Vice-Chancellor Prof. Kumar Molugaram has directed autonomous colleges affiliated with the university to upload student marks through secure cloud-based systems to prevent tampering. He said autonomy must come with greater responsibility and ethical accountability.
The directive was issued during a meeting on Wednesday, 30 September 2026, with principals of affiliated autonomous colleges. The VC also called for higher standards in question papers, asking that they test understanding and analysis rather than just memory, in line with Bloom's Taxonomy.
Controller of Examinations Prof. B Sudhakar Reddy flagged discrepancies in result processing at some colleges, including variations in results and issues with internal and external marks. The VC ordered immediate resolution of such discrepancies and completion of faculty ratification within the current academic year.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The directive shifts the burden of exam integrity onto autonomous colleges, which now must adopt cloud systems that leave a tamper-proof trail. Discrepancies flagged by the Controller of Examinations suggest past irregularities may have been systemic. Without naming any college, the VC made clear that autonomy is conditional on compliance. The faculty ratification deadline and the CO-PO mapping requirement give these colleges a concrete timeline to meet, or risk losing autonomy privileges.
