Bihar: Nalanda Open University to take exams at divisional headquarters

PATNA: Nalanda Open University (NOU), the only university in the state providing higher education through distance mode, has decided to hold its examinations at the divisional headquarters with a view to help economically backward and rural students.
NOU vice-chancellor (VC) K C Sinha told this newspaper on Sunday that so far the examinations of the university were being held at Patna only, hence, many students residing in far-off, remote areas faced difficulties in finding accommodation there during the examinations.“Now, they will not face much problems if the examination centres were kept at their respective divisional headquarters,” the VC said.
The centres of examinations would, however, be kept only in those colleges or universities which have got sufficient infrastructural facilities and where examinations could be held in a fair manner.
