About Medhavi Skills University

Medhavi Skills University (MSU) is a government-notified private skills university established under a State Act in Sikkim, dedicated to promoting quality skill education and entrepreneurship integrated with higher education. As a pioneering institution in the convergence of the skilling ecosystem with higher education, MSU aligns with the National Education Policy, 2020 (NEP 2020). Recognized by the UGC and established in 2021, MSU collaborates with industries and Skill Development Institutes to offer work-integrated courses, embedding on-the-job internships and training within the curriculum. MSU is a recognized Awarding Body under the National Council for Vocational Education & Training (NCVET) and is empanelled with the Directorate General of Training (DGT).

The role is the single point of accountability for the integrity, speed and credibility of every assessment the University conducts and every credential it issues. The mandate is to convert the examination function from a custodial, calendar-driven office into a governed, data-driven and largely automated service: results on time, without error, without leak, and verifiable by any employer or regulator within minutes. This is a target-based leadership role, measured on outcomes, not on effort.

Key Responsibilities:

1. Examination Planning

• Prepare the annual examination calendar, aligned to the academic calendar and every partner cohort
• Plan centres, seating, invigilation and logistics capacity
• Constitute examiner panels from Board of Studies–approved lists

• Build and maintain a tagged, secure question bank
• Enforce separation of paper setter, moderator and evaluator
• Run item analysis and post-examination paper review each cycle
• Compute and publish CO–PO attainment

3. Secure Conduct

• Encrypted, just-in-time delivery of question papers
• Readiness audits of every centre, including partner and industry sites
• University-appointed observers at every off-campus site
• CCTV and proctoring with human review of every flag
• Fair, time-bound unfair-means process

4. Evaluation & Results

• Deploy on-screen marking with step marking and script masking
• Apply double valuation and moderation rules as per Ordinance
• Lock internal-assessment marks in the ERP before examinations
• Rule-based result processing with four-eye verification
• Declare results within published timelines; run revaluation and supplementary cycles
• Issue grade cards, transcripts, provisional, migration and degree certificates within the time limits
• Upload results and credentials to ABC and DigiLocker
• Maintain a secure archive and records-retention schedule

6. Technology, AI & Automation

• Deliver an end-to-end digital examination module in the ERP
• AI-assisted question drafting and tagging, always vetted by experts
• Marker-variance analytics and AI-flagged proctoring, with human decisions
• Touchless student services with chatbot and SLA-tracked tickets
• Live dashboards for leadership, IQAC and NAAC

7. Compliance & Grievance

• Ensure conformity with UGC regulations and the University's Statutes and Ordinances
• Prepare evidence for NAAC Criterion 2 (evaluation process and reforms)
• Respond to audits, regulators and RTI-type requests on examinations
• Resolve examination grievances within the time limits
• Build, train and lead the examination team
• Train and certify examiners on outcome-based assessment and on-screen marking
• Reduce cost per candidate through automation and vendor management
• Report weekly MIS to University leadership

Qualifications & Skills Required:

• Master's degree with at least 55% marks or an equivalent grade; Ph.D. preferred.
