Kerala University to abandon K-REAP amid examination glitches
Kerala University is discontinuing its K-REAP e-governance software due to significant errors in examination results and system limitations. The university plans to revert to its internal software while addressing technical failures.
Why it matters
The failure of this digital infrastructure highlights the challenges of implementing large-scale e-governance systems in educational institutions.
Kerala University has decided to discontinue the use of the Kerala Resources for Education Administration and Planning (K-REAP) e-governance software, introduced by the previous Left Democratic Front (LDF) government to integrate the activities undertaken by all institutions.
The decision to abandon the enterprise resource planning software comes amid the detection of errors in the results of various examinations.
The Syndicate has formally withdrawn the results of the first and fourth semesters’ supplementary examinations under the Four-Year Undergraduate Programme (FYUGP) owing to alleged errors in the results generated through the K-REAP software.
Official sources said several serious discrepancies were detected, including results not appearing on students’ profiles, results being generated for non-existent subjects, changes in marks obtained in improvement examinations, and students being shown as having passed subjects they had not cleared. Consequently, the university decided to withdraw the results and adopt steps to address the errors.
