Calcutta University to give 24 hours time to students to finish and submit the answer sheet through email or WhatsApp to their respective colleges.
Calcutta University has announced that it will be conducting the terminal semester or final year exams for the Undergraduate and Postgraduate students from October 1 to October 18. The varsity will declare the result for the same on October 31, 2020, Vice-Chancellor Sonali Chakraborty Banerjee said. Students will be given the question papers through online medium, i.e. through emails or WhatsApp.
“Students of the Undergraduate and Postgraduate level will take the exams during the period and the results will be published by October 31. Questions will be sent to those who cannot appear for online exams via email and WhatsApp and have to submit the answers in hard copy to his/her respective institution after 24 hours," Chakraborty added.
All students will be given 24 hours time to finish and submit the answer sheets either through email or WhatsApp to their respective colleges. In case any student is unable to access online exams, they will be allowed by the varsity to submit their answer scripts physically at the college.
For Undergraduate students, the answer sheets will be evaluated by teachers of the same institute, unlike external evaluation previously conducted. The change has been necessitated in view of the coronavirus pandemic. The West Bengal government had recently said the final semester exams will have to be conducted by universities between October 1 and 18 and the results will have to be published by October 31. "The earlier decision of the university senate for evaluation based on 80-20 ratio (previous semester performance and internal assessment) will not be valid anymore," the VC informed.
