Jamia Millia Islamia PG students demand re-exam for papers they boycotted, check details

A group of students studying postgraduate courses at Jamia Millia Islamia, who had earlier boycotted the first two exams of the current semester demanding that they should be conducted in online mode, has now urged the authorities to conduct the fresh exams for them. 

However, the authorities had earlier refused to hear their demands and conducted the exams in offline mode, and now have said that the decision in this connection will be taken by the examination committee. 

It must be noted that, on May 17, the varsity began the exams for the majority of postgraduate courses, including MBA, MA (Human Rights), MA (Public Administration) and MA (Political Science).

Vivek Singh, a student who boycotted the first two exams, said that he and his friends had appeared for the examination that was held on Monday in offline mode. "We understood that it is not in our benefit to miss the third exam. So, we told the university that we will attend the exams in offline mode if we are allowed to take the missed exams in the first week of June," he said, as reported by TimesNow.
Siyad, another postgraduate student, said all the students that boycotted the earlier exams appeared on Monday. "We have told the university to allow us to take exams in June. We all sat for the exams on Monday," he said.

While speaking on the same,  Waseem Ahmad Khan, JMI's chief proctor, said, "The students boycotted two papers. The matter will be decided by the examination committee. We will try to do our best for the children."
