SPPU students demand regular semester exams to be conducted online; write to state education minister
In a letter to Education Minister, the MSWA demanded that the examination forms for the regular session should be started and also the syllabus of the session should be reduced.
Maharashtra Students Welfare Association (MSWA) has written to Maharashtra Education Minister Uday Samant urging him to conduct the Savitribai Phule Pune University’s (SPPU) regular session examinations online.
“Pune University has not yet announced how the regular session examinations will be conducted. Even though the entire syllabus has been taught, the university has not declared anything when and how the examinations will be held. The university has not yet filled up the examination forms required for the examination. Even further studies have also begun to be taught in the absence of regular session examinations. This has created fear among the students. If the exams are not held soon, the students are afraid that they will have to take both semester exams at the same time.
Also three months after the final year exams, the university has not taken any concrete decision for the students with final year backlog. Earlier, the Minister for Higher and Technical Education had said that the year would not be wasted if there will be any backlog in the final year’s examination. But even no constructive decision has been made regarding this by the university”, Vaibhav Edke, president of the Maharashtra Students Welfare Association (MSWA), has alleged in the letter that the above things have been happening due to the ongoing internal dispute in the University.
“Students should not be harmed due to internal disputes in the university, this is not acceptable and as the Head of the Department of Higher and Technical Education, the education minister should take up the issue," he said.
In a letter to the Education Minister, the MSWA demanded that the examination forms for the regular session should be started and also the syllabus of the session should be reduced. Since the regular classes were not conducted, hence, the fees for the current semester should be reduced.
