Thiruvananthapuram: In an apparent lapse on the part of Kerala University, 71 answer sheets from the MBA final-semester Project Finance paper have reportedly gone missing. The university, however, did not disclose the issue and instead decided to conduct a re-exam. Students only became aware of the matter after receiving a re-examination notification.

The missing answer sheets belong to students from five colleges. The MBA final-semester results, already delayed by two and a half years despite being a two-year course, have faced further setbacks. The university has not explained the reason for the delay.

Amid this, on Friday afternoon, students were officially informed that a re-exam would be held on April 7. 

Reports indicate that the teacher responsible for evaluation informed the university that the answer sheets had gone missing after the assessment was completed. The matter was later reported to the Syndicate, which decided to conduct the re-exam.
