Earlier, this week, a huge number of students gathered and staged a massive protest on the university’s campus premises. They raised slogans against the conduction of offline exams and threatened to boycott the exams if it would not be cancelled.
The practical exams were postponed by the university administration last week, citing the Covid-19 protocols. According to the statement issued by the exam controller, the practical exams will be conducted after the completion of the theory papers.
Initially, the university administration had decided to conduct the offline exams from December 10, 2021. However, the students argued that they were not in favor of offline exams as they didn't have any accommodation facilities.
