Several colleges and varsities in Bihar are expediting the examination form-filling process so that exams can be conducted soon after the government’s permission.
Days after the University Grant Commission (UGC) released a directive to varsities to finish the pending exams by August 31, several Universities, colleges across Bihar are now gearing up to conduct the offline exams. Several of them expediting the examination form-filling process so that exams can be conducted soon after the government’s permission.
Last week, UGC had asked all the Universities, colleges and educational institutions across the country to compulsorily conduct exams for the final year students by August 31. The UGC in its circular also asked to complete the admission process for the academic session 2021-22 by September 30. The new academic session will begin on October 1.
While speaking to a media house, officials of Patna University (PU) told a media house that the arrangements are been done to conduct the final year exams in August.
“Online examination form filling process is going on. Students of undergraduate (UG) vocational courses will complete the process by July 24 while those of postgraduate (PG) courses by August 5. The varsity has chalked out a plan for conducting exams in a phased manner,” said Anil Kumar, dean of students’ welfare.
He said they are waiting for the government’s permission for conducting exams in physical mode. “If the government allows conducting the offline exam in the next phase of unlocking after August 6, we will soon announce exam schedule and clear pending exams following Covid-19 safety protocols,” Kumar said.
Similarly, Patliputra University (PPU) and Magadh University have also geared up to conduct pending exams.
“Online registration and exam form filling process for various UG and PG courses is under process. We are hopeful to get relaxation in August for conducting the conventional exams as conducting online exams is not feasible in the larger interest of students. Efforts are on to clear backlogs before admitting students in new sessions to prevent overlapping of students in the same grade,” said an official in the PPU exam department.
