Meanwhile, VV George Kutty, Controller of Examinations at CU stated that the incident is purely a case of human error. According to him it is a rare mistake and could have been due to a lapse from a clerk in verifying the degree certificate properly before dispatching the same. Calicut University issues thousands of certificates every year and this is for the first time something like this has happened.
However, the examination standing committee covener CL Joshi has asked the syndicate to look into the matter and take strict actions.
