A committee constituted by the varsity to conduct a probe into the matter recommended a re-exam for some of the B.Sc subjects. The varsity has no other option except to go for a re-exam.
All the students of B.Sc course except for students booked under malpractices will have to appear for the re-exam in the same exam centres with the hall tickets that were issued earlier.

After the investigation, the committee figured out that the answer sheets were not only damaged due to the fire mishap but also because of the water used to douse the fire. Both the causes attributed to the damage of answer sheets, which forced the varsity to conduct the re-exam. The committee further suggested the varsity to revamp the infrastructure and implement safety and security measures at the coding centre to prevent such instances/ damages in future.
