Panjab University's Dental College proposes to hold online exams for BDS students
As per the sources, the UG exams have been proposed to begin from mid-October and the PG exams from November 1. Around 400 UG students and 17 PG students will be appearing for the exams.
Panjab University’s Dr. Harvansh Singh Judge Institute of Dental Science and Hospital has proposed to hold the exams for all the Undergraduate Courses online this year owing to the coronavirus situation in the country. After getting permission from the Dental Council of India (DCI) to conduct exams as per their feasibility, the institute has proposed to the varsity that the Postgraduate (PG) courses exams to be conducted offline as the number of students are small.
Panjab University has already conducted the exams of all existing UG and PG students, however, the exams at its dental college are still to be conducted. An internal meeting of the college was held last month. As per the sources, the UG exams have been proposed to begin from mid-October and the PG exams from November 1. Around 400 UG students and 17 PG students will be appearing for the exams.
A faculty member, seeking anonymity, told a media house that, “We have already sent our proposal regarding the PG and UG examinations to the varsity. We want the exams to be held soon so that students’ time is not wasted.”
Dr Jagat Bhushan, principal of the college, said, “We are waiting for the final notification from the university.”
In August, after receiving a request from the dental college for the conduct of exams, a special panel of the university had allowed the college to conduct the UG exams in blended mode, while for postgraduates it has permitted regular exams, subject to DCI permissions. After this, the college had written to the DCI to seek their permission.
On June 30, 2020. the DCI had directed all colleges/universities to conduct theory examinations for UG and PG, strictly following the council’s norms.
