The so‑called ‘Assembly of Examination Board Chairs’ has long operated as an informal consultation body at UT, bringing together the chairs of all examination boards. According to Abhishta Abhishta, the new formal status is a welcome boost. ‘Informal platforms often disappear over time. This decision makes us more future‑proof and helps us professionalise further.’

In principle, the assembly’s working methods will remain unchanged, Abhishta explains. ‘It’s a platform where we exchange knowledge and discuss legal matters. We also serve as a central point of contact for developments related to examination boards and safeguarding assessment quality, for instance for the rector.’

The formal status reinforces both the assembly’s working approach and its organisation, Abhishta adds. ‘I believe it will help us retain and apply our shared expertise even better – ultimately benefiting all individual examination boards. And that, in turn, benefits the entire university.’
