Jamia Millia Islamia (JMI) postgraduate students staged a protest against the varsity's decision to hold the exam in offline mode.

It must be noted that a section of students also did not appear for the exams.
"A section of students boycotted their exams and demanded that the exams should be held online. We have made it clear that in Feburary 20 meeting it was decided that the exams will be held offline for courses for which offline classes were conducted," said the chief proctor.
Meanwhile, the University authorities said that as the classes are conducted in offline mode, the exams were decided to be conducted in physical mode as per the schedule. The exams for the postgraduate courses including MBA. MA (Human Rights), MA (Public Administration) and MA (Political Science) began on May 17.
"I have boycotted my exam. We have had classes in online mode and only for two months, the classes were held offline. How are students supposed to mug everything up and give exams offline?" said Vivek Singh, a postgraduate student, as reported by an English daily. Singh also claimed that his entire class has boycotted Tuesday's exams.
While speaking on the same, Hammad, a final year postgraduate student, said that they have been demanding the administration to conduct exams in an offline mode. Students have also submitted a memorandum to Waseem Ahmad Khan, JMI’s chief proctor.
