To improve the internal evaluation process in MBBS and postgraduate examinations, Jawaharlal Institute of Postgraduate Medical Education & Research (JIPMER) has launched an online evaluation system for high-quality assessment of theory examination papers.
JIPMER is all set to introduce six new super specialisations post-doctoral fellow MD/MS courses in various disciplines such as gynaecological oncology, interventional cardiology, paediatric neurosurgery, foetal medicine and paediatric nephrology.
It is a step towards going fully online for final theory papers. The online evaluation system can quickly scan and mark paper-based answer sheets digitally. The method will also be cost-effective as it will reduce the costs of printing and distributing the question/answer papers to the students and examiners.
JIPMER Director, Rakesh Aggarwal told The Hindu, "The online computer-based system introduced for the evaluation of scripts of theory (internal) examinations is a leap towards going fully online for final theory papers ahead of the practical examination for graduate and postgraduate courses."
"During 2022-23, the quantitative and qualitative thrust in research witnessed an uptick in the number of extramural grants sanctioned for projects. A total of 59 extramural projects were sanctioned with INR 16 crore accruing as research grants. JIPMER had sanctioned intra-mural grants to the tune of INR 2.1 crore to young researchers," added Dr Aggarwal.
