Chattisgarh to hold University/college exams in online or blended mode
The Chhattisgarh government has announced that it has decided to conduct all the remaining examinations of the Universities for the academic session 2021-22 in online or blended mode. The announcement comes after the government received several suggestions from the institutions and students.
As per the government officials, the state Higher Education Department issued the guidelines on the institutions given by Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel. The Universities have also been directed to conduct all the remaining exams of the ongoing academic session in online or blended mode, he said.
On February 11, the University Grants Commission (UGC), in a letter, had authorized higher education institutions to take decisions on conducting offline/online classes and holding exams in online/offline/blended mode according to COVID-19 situation in their areas, the official said.
“The process of conducting annual examinations of universities takes 50 to 60 days to complete. It is a huge challenge for the examination centre to ensure arrangements as per COVID preventive protocols for such a long period. Keeping this in mind, instructions were given to conduct the remaining examinations online or in blended mode,” he said. Universities will have to ensure that further action in this regard with the approval of respective executive councils is taken, the official said.
Several universities across the country have started announcing the exam schedule for the semester exams with the COVID-19 situation improving. While some universities are conducting the exams in offline mode, a few are still conducting the exams online considering the demands of the students.
