SPPU to give marks for practical's based on online viva

The decision to hold a practical exam online was taken by the varsity considering the possibility that it will not reopen for another two months.

The Savitribai Phule Pune University (SPPU) has announced that it has decided to hold all its practical examinations online. As of now, only theory exams were being conducted online and practical examinations for both semesters I and II were supposed to be held after the end of the semester I examinations which started on April 10.

The decision to hold a practical exam online was taken by the varsity considering the possibility that it will not reopen for another two months. Students cannot be given the final mark sheet without calculating practical marks and without the final mark sheet, they would not be able to apply for higher studies of jobs. Hence, SPPU officials have suggested that practicals be uploaded online in a centralised manner and students be allowed time to go through each.
Students may be told to appear for an online viva/assignment/task on the basis of which their practical marks may be calculated. The suggestion from SPPU’s Board of Studies needs to be approved by both the Board of Deans and the Board of Examination.
Sanjay Chakane, principal, Arts Science Commerce College, Indapur said, “We have told the dean of science faculty to have their best teachers design and perform the practicals required in each year. These will be shot either in the university or at colleges that have good studios. The entire process will be explained and queries covered. This will then be uploaded on the learning management system software and all students can see how these practicals are performed.”
