Examination Cell Profile

An examination cell in an educational institution plays a crucial role in ensuring fair and efficient conduct of examinations. The aim of the Examination Department is to carry out all the exams at UG and PG level with utmost precision and to publish the results without any flaw, according to the academic calendar.

Govt Kalidas College has a total student enrollment of approximately 2800-3000, encompassing both regular and private students, on an annual basis. The institution is responsible for administering examinations to these students, strictly adhering to the directives issued by Vikram University, Ujjain. The university publishes the examination schedule, which serves as the basis for the college's examination process.

Notably, the institution accommodates a substantial number of private students, in addition to its regular student body, for examination purposes. The examination process is efficiently managed and conducted in three shifts. On an annual basis, the college demonstrates its capacity to successfully administer examinations to a large and diverse student population.

The Examination Cell, in conjunction with the IT Support Cell, plays a vital role in ensuring the seamless execution of examinations, from commencement to completion.
