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.
