Exams: From Dec 22 for students who missed exams due to Covid-19

College students, who could not appear for examinations that were held three months ago due to Covid19 situation or so, can take the exams from December 22. Besides, students who got ATKT or supplementary are also going to get a special chance from December 29.

In August, the Department of Higher Education (DHE) had issued detailed order regarding holding examination in the institutes of higher education taking into account Covid-19 guidelines, the order of the Ministry of Education, the University Grants Commission and the decision taken by the Governor on June 6. As per the order, the students, not residing within the jurisdiction of the university and were unable to appear for the exams conducted in August-September, will be given another chance to write their papers.

The university was told to conduct separate exams for students at an appropriate time. “Such students were required to inform department or university through email about their inability to appear in the exams and only then their claims were held valid,” the August order of DHE read.

However, the DHE has reportedly diluted that condition. In August-September, the exams were held online and in open book mode. Question papers were uploaded on official websites of universities and colleges using the National Information Centre (NIC) platform. On the same pattern, students will be required to take up exams during a window of seven days. They will be provided with question papers of all subjects on December 22. They will have to complete writing exams within seven days and then submit answer sheets to the nearest government colleges, which will double up as collection centres by December 28.
