Alleging large-scale irregularities in the digital evaluation of answer scripts introduced by Kuvempu University, BJP MLC D.S. Arun has demanded an investigation by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID).

Addressing presspersons in Shivamogga on Friday, Mr. Arun said that since the introduction of digital evaluation in 2025, there had been many complaints about its efficiency. He said he had sought information on the system and its implementation about three months ago, but had received no reply.

“The university constituted a committee of professors to verify how the digital evaluation has been functioning. The committee found that the private agency that had an agreement with the university to run the system did not fulfil mandatory requirements,” he said.
