Role Overview:

The role is the single point of accountability for the integrity, speed and credibility of every assessment the University conducts and every credential it issues. The mandate is to convert the examination function from a custodial, calendar-driven office into a governed, data-driven and largely automated service: results on time, without error, without leak, and verifiable by any employer or regulator within minutes. This is a target-based leadership role, measured on outcomes, not on effort.

Maintain a secure archive and records-retention schedule

Technology, AI & Automation

Deliver an end-to-end digital examination module in the ERP

AI-assisted question drafting and tagging, always vetted by experts

Marker-variance analytics and AI-flagged proctoring, with human decisions

Touchless student services with chatbot and SLA-tracked tickets

Live dashboards for leadership, IQAC and NAAC

Compliance & Grievance

Ensure conformity with UGC regulations and the University's Statutes and Ordinances

Prepare evidence for NAAC Criterion 2 (evaluation process and reforms)

Respond to audits, regulators and RTI-type requests on examinations

Resolve examination grievances within the time limits

Leadership, Cost & Capability

Build, train and lead the examination team

Train and certify examiners on outcome-based assessment and on-screen marking
