From this academic year, the average of the best of four would be considered.” The Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences (RGUHS) also plans to use technology to check malpractices in evaluation and tabulation of exam answer scripts. The university is embedding radio signal-emitting chips in answer books that would alert the vice-chancellor and the registrar about attempts to replace answer scripts or tamper with them. Also any attempt would shut the doors of the evaluation hall to ensure that the answer scripts do not go out of the hall, and trap dishonest evaluators. Named radio freqency identification (RFID) system, the anti-fraud system will employ a unique software, and will be in place for the March–April 2013 exams. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
