Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) has announced that it will be conducting the final examinations for the remaining 30 per cent marks for all the Undergraduate and Postgraduate students from August 5. The University will be conducting the examination online in viva voce formats to maintain social distancing norms as directed by the Health Ministry. The decision was taken during a consultative meeting of the deans of faculties, principal of colleges and polytechnics and other functionaries of the University headed by the Vice-Chancellor, Professor Tariq Mansoor. 

During the meeting, it was also decided to begin the teaching for the academic year 2020-21 online. The varsity in mid-March suspended all academic activities in the wake of the coronavirus outbreak in the country and as a preventive measure to contain the spread of the virus. 

AMU has already evaluated 70 percent marks for the final year examinations of undergraduate and postgraduate courses for the current sessions by various means, the varsity said.

The University Grants Commission (UGC) has released a revised notification recently, asking all the colleges and universities across the country to conduct the final year examinations by September-end. 

Amid the mounting pressure from the students and teacher organisations who are opposing the move to conduct the examinations as the COVID-19 cases increasing in the country, the UGC on July 23 informed that 603 out of 818 universities have either conducted examinations or are planning to conduct them.

"Universities were approached to inform the status of the conduct of the examination. Response received from 818 Universities (121 Deemed Universities, 291 Private Universities, 51 Central Universities and 355 State Universities). Out of the 818 Universities, 603 Universities have either conducted the examination or are planning to conduct," the UGC said.
