The APJ Abdul Kalam Technological University will begin supplementary examinations for semesters 1 to 8 from tomorrow. Check details here.

The APJ Abdul Kalam Technological University, formerly known as Kerala Technological University will conduct the offline supplementary examinations for BTech students of all semesters from tomorrow, i.e September 9. While concerns were raised by a section of the students and the state human rights commission (KSHRC), the university claims that it will adopt Covid-19 safety protocols.

The varsity had earlier said that it is aware of the current pandemic situation and the challenges faced by the students, but a “time has come wherein we are left with no options other than to ‘live with COVID.”

“It is to be noted that there are hundreds of students with few back papers, many of them are even placed, who are eagerly waiting for the conduct of these supplementary examinations and publication of results. Any further delay in the conduct of these examinations will affect their career prospects and higher education opportunities,” it said. It added that students who face specific difficulties in attending the supplementary examinations can avail the next immediate chance.

On September 3, the APJ Abdul Kalam Technological University has released another circular in which it stated that it will conduct odd semester supplementary examinations as a special one-time chance this year especially for those with backlogs.

Dr S Ayoob, Pro-Vice-Chancellor of the university, told a media house, “The exams were announced on August 13 with a detailed schedule. Enough time was given to the students to prepare. We have even created software to provide the option for students to change the examination center to one near their home.”

As per the UGC, universities can opt to conduct exams either online, offline, or in a blended manner.

“The supplementary examinations are being conducted for semesters 1 to 8. Right now, the university does not have the mechanism to conduct the exams on a large scale like this through the online model. Many universities have started online examinations and later switched back to offline examinations. There is a certain quality that has to be maintained while conducting examinations and most of the time, these standards cannot be met in online examinations,” Dr. Ayoob added.
