Students and student unions have urged the varsity to reschedule the examinations so that students get time in between to study and also for the convenience of students travelling from afar.
SPPU Exams 2022: With Savitraibai Phule Pune University (SPPU) announcing the SPPU Semester Exams 2022 timetable wherein subject exams will be conducted on consecutive days, several students have urged the varsity to reschedule it. Student Unions have also stepped in and requested the SPPU Examination department to reschedule it so that students get time in between to study for examination and also for the convenience of students travelling from afar.
Members of the student organisation, Yuvak Kranti Dal (Yukrand), on Monday met the SPPU pro-vice chancellor to demand rescheduling of the time table. Sachin Pandule, Pune city president, Yukrand, said, “Recently, the time table of various examinations was declared by the university’s examination department in which the time table of the engineering, law and pharmacy courses was included. A major issue which students have now raised is that the examination of subjects will be held back-to-back without any break in between and this will affect their studies. There are a large number of students travelling to the college campus from faraway places like Daund, Saswad and Narayangaon. A lot of time is spent travelling leaving little or no time for studies which will ultimately affect the students’ marks in the exams. So, we’ve demanded that necessary changes be made in the exam time table,” as reported by HT.
Students have also raised their concerns about back-to-back exams in the time table. Shailesh K, a third-year law student, said, “I am pursuing law as well as working in a private firm and if the examination is held on consecutive days, we won’t get time for studies. Already, there is less time for us to prepare for the exam. Hence, a holiday between two papers will certainly help us prepare well and get good marks in the exams.”
Professor Sanjeev Sonawane, pro-vice chancellor, SPPU, said, “We have got the demand letter from the students to reschedule the exam time table. We will hold a meeting with the board of examinations soon and will try to find a solution to the issue.”
