KATHMANDU, JUNE 13

Tribhuvan University (TU) has formed a committee to investigate the repetition of two question papers of Master's degree under the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences examination.

According to TU registrar and central examinations committee chair Prof Dr Peshal Dahal, the three-member committee under professor Ghanashyam Bhattarai has been formed to probe the matter. The committee is mandated to submit a study report within a week.

The question paper of MA degree in Economics (third semester, course title - Public Economics) for June 1 exam and the paper of MA degree in Political Science (first semester, course title- International Politics) for June 6 exams were allegedly repeated from the previous exams. The 13 questions for 60 marks question paper were said to be duplication from the previous two exams.
