College in Telangana forges signatures, loses Osmania university affiliation
HYDERABAD: The affiliation of Hindi Mahavidyalaya Degree College was revoked by the Osmania University (OU), for indulging in serious violations, including forging academic records and misreporting the student results.
As per an official statement on Saturday, the university, after multiple inquiries by standing committees, cancelled the provisional affiliation of the college and recommended to the University Grants Commission (UGC) and the Telangana State Council of Higher Education (TSCHE) to revoke its autonomous status.
“Investigation revealed that during the 2019-2022 academic years, the college submitted manipulated results for UG sixth-semester exams. It falsely declared 49 as passed and five as failed. Alarmed by inconsistencies in the tabulation records (TR), the university ordered a comprehensive inquiry. The private college was also found forging signatures of OU officials,” the statement said.
The committee, which visited the college thrice, uncovered shocking irregularities. It found that Commerce papers were evaluated by unqualified faculty from Computer Science department and marks lists were forged. Additionally, the college failed to submit critical details, including examination papers, evaluation records, and advanced supplementary exam notifications.
