The Odisha government on Tuesday decided to keep 336 college teachers away from the panel of examiners for the annual for their alleged goof up in evaluation of answer sheets last year, official sources said.

"The higher education department has served show cause notice to these teachers. Only one of the 336 responded to the notice. Therefore, action has been taken against them," said Durga Prasad Behera, additional secretary in the Higher Education department.

Behera said the list of examiners dropped from the panel includes 13 examiners who are teachers in government-run colleges. Among them are teachers of reputed colleges like BJB College and Rama Devi College in Bhubaneswar, Government College in Phulbani and Dharanidhar College in Keonjhar. The rest were teachers of aided colleges.
