AKTU Exams 2021: Students allege teachers of rushing to complete 6-months syllabus in 5 weeks
AKTU had earlier announced that it has decided to conduct the examination for the final year students from July 20 to August 7.
Several students of Dr APJ Abdul Kalam Technical University (AKTU) have alleged that soon after the examination schedule was announced, teachers are trying to finish the six months' syllabus in just five weeks, giving no time for students to comprehend and grasp. Students took to social media platforms to raise their concerns regarding the same.
One of the students, Apurva Verma, tweeted that "How can our mind capture anything at that speed. We are unable to understand a single chapter. This is not the way to complete the course ahead of the final exam of B Tech.
Annapurna, another student, said, "How can AKTU take our exam covering the entire syllabus when the semester duration is reduced to just 3 months. Also, there was a 20-day holiday during online classes in May."
"First of all, students are finding it difficult to adapt to an online learning environment immediately after traditional classroom learning. Due to the sudden change, we are not able to adapt to computer-based learning. Students who have been always studying in the classroom, their minds are not able to focus on online platforms,” reads Apurva's tweet.
It must be noted that AKTU has decided to conduct the examination for the final year students from July 20 to August 7, as announced by vice-chancellor Professor Vinay Kumar Pathak. AKTU announced the tentative examination schedule for all the disciplines of the final year on June 14, 2021.
According to a letter issued by Sunil Kumar Chaudhary, special secretary of the state government regarding the conduct of the exam, "The technical education department in its guidelines to the vice-chancellors of three technical universities has suggested a mock test to help students prepare for the online exam which will be multiple choice based."
