Managing final examination and assessment in a university that caters to almost 180,000 can only be done through strategic planning and proper execution of three distinct mechanisms: 

Mechanism 1 focuses on the development of JSU/JSUB/JSP blueprints for both on-going assessments and final examinations. The JSU/JSUB/JSP is developed based on four principles of assessment i.e., validity, reliability, fairness and consistency. Our unit conducts workshop/trainings to educate lecturers through creation of awareness, knowledge dissemination, including hands-on-training with references to OBE-SCL. 

Mechanism 2 adopts the utilisation of a centralised Question Bank System (OBS). With reference to the JSU/JSUB/JSP blueprint, lecturers develop assessment items which are valid, reliable, fair and consistent. Through a 2-tier vetting process, developed items for every academic course are vetted by a committee that consists of a Resource Person and several experienced lecturers who are experts in the subject matter of the course. Quality is ensured for every constructed item that goes into the QBS. 

Mechanism 3 ensures the standard and quality of final examination papers can be achieved through the decentralisation of final examination and final assessment operations as a way to facilitate the existence of many courses offered at multiple locations (faculties, academic centres and campuses) and multiple methods, Face-to-Face or even online distance learning. For each of these courses, parallel sets of the final examination papers can be generated by the QBS. This quality control is vital to ensure that all parallel sets are of the same standard.
