IIT Bombay to conduct mid-semester exams in hybrid mode
The Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Bombay is conducting its mid-semester exams in a hybrid mode. Students staying on campus can appear for exams in physical mode, whereas those off campus can take the exams online.
Subhashis Chaudhuri, Director, IIT Bombay, said since the pandemic has posed an unprecedented situation, they are trying to experiment with different modes. He said, “As per the state policy on the pandemic, we are still not allowed to go for physical classroom-based lectures. However, as many of our students are currently on campus, we thought of providing a real feel for the exam to these students by inviting them to write their exams in the classrooms by following all the Covid norms. This will help these students to be less stressed during the exam as we have been able to provide them with an ambience of exam rooms.”
“Around 1,500 students who are currently on campus are attending lectures online. Most of them are appearing for the exams in physical mode,” said Chaudhari.
The institute has been shut since March last year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. All teaching and academic activities have been held online. While undergraduate students and and PhD students can complete their semester remotely, research scholars have to complete their research projects to complete their course work. Thus, scholars who needed access to laboratories for their work have been allowed to come back to the campus on priority.
