AKTU Mock Test 2021: Students to take exam from home, cybercafé

The University will be conducting these exams online as offline considering the ongoing pandemic situation and restrictions imposed in order to contain the virus spread.

AKTU Mock Tests: Dr APJ Abdul Kalam Technical University (AKTU) has decided to conduct a ‘demo mock test’ to prepare students for the upcoming even-semester examinations. The University will be conducting these exams online as offline considering the ongoing pandemic situation and restrictions imposed in order to contain the virus spread. Warning students that AKTU will not be responsible if students who don't take the mock test face problems in the final exam, Rajeev Kumar, controller of examinations, AKTU, said,"The examination will be of multiple-choice questions (MCQs) and it will be of a shorter duration. Students will be required to answer 50 MCQs in 90 minutes. They can take the examination from their home, a cyber cafe, on their smartphones, laptops and desktops." The University is all set to announce the final datesheet shortly. AKTU has also extended the last date for the submission of examination form for even semester candidates to June 28, 2021.

Stating that students have been appearing for pen-paper exams, Kumar said that AKTU felt the need to facilitate all students to appear in a mock test so that they are better placed for the exams, likely to be held in July-end or August. For long, AKTU students have demanded AKTU to hold mock tests ahead of the annual examination as they had no previous experience of taking online examinations.

However, with online exams on the platter, their biggest worry is connectivity, because many of them live in remote areas of the state. In a June 14 letter by Sunil Kumar Chaudhary, special secretary of the state government, guidelines were issued to the vice-chancellors of the three technical universities of the state. The technical education department suggested a mock test to help students prepare for the online exam which will be MCQ-based.

The department also issued well-elaborated guidelines to the technical universities to procure software required to conduct online examination through the GeM portal that has been approved by the government, the letter reads.
