Uttar Pradesh: Exams to be conducted for all technical edu students

LUCKNOW: The state technical education department is most likely to conduct examinations for all such students, and will issue guidelines in the upcoming days. This comes after several engineering and management students took to social media voicing their concern on the ambiguity over examinations.
“We are preparing to hold examinations for all students. The online exam for final-year engineering students should be held after mid-July while for students of first and subsequent years, the exam will most likely be in August,” said Alok Kumar, secretary, technical education.
He added, “Exams are in the interest of students. Without an exam, students will suffer in their career.”
Upset with the government’s take on conducting exams for them, and promoting students of arts, commerce, science, law, and agriculture courses without exams, engineering students took to social media to raise the issue.
After Kumar’s tweet stating that the government is trying to hold exams for all students, a student replied, “Why to delay 4th-year results? Just for the one-day online exam, we have to wait till August for degrees. When we have given exams for all seven semesters, can’t we be promoted on that basis? (sic)”.
Pleading promotion, a student said, “We are not prepared for online or offline exams. No practicals could be performed as the syllabus for theoretical subjects remains incomplete.”
On Tuesday, the state government had decided to promote all first-year and first-semester UG and PG students without exams in view of the Covid-19 situation. With this, first-year students of BTech and BPharma are also demanding that they should be promoted without exams.
