In order to maintain transparency during the viva,the Academic Council of the university recently decided to conduct the video-recording of the viva in PG courses in various colleges, said V K Sinha,Registrar of Meerut University. The viva of PG courses,including MA,MSc,MCom and MPhil,will begin from May 2 in over 75 affiliated colleges in Meerut.

According to university authorities,a camera will be installed in every examination hall near the table where students will take the viva in the presence of the examiners.

Every year,large number of students complain about injustice meted out to them. But neither the university nor the student have any evidence in their support, Sinha said.

To assess the fairness level during the viva,every conversation between the student and the teachers will be recorded. If any student complains of injustice after the results are declared,the university could check the video of the viva, said Sinha.
