Nagpur University summer Exam 2022 to be conducted in offline mode, students protest
Nagpur University Exams 2022: Days after Nagpur University (NU) released the circular that it will be conducting summer 2022 theory and practical examinations in offline mode, a group of students is now opposing the move. Teachers while supporting the students pointed out that most of them are still to resume offline classes and they still prefer online teaching.
Nagpur University will be holding the offline examination after a gap of a two-year gap since March 2020, as the institute was closed due to the outbreak of COVID-19. Students said that the entire teaching was held online and exams should also be conducted in the same mode. Students further said that Covid cases have reduced significantly but are yet to completely cease and in such a situation, there is always a risk to them or their family members’ lives. They said that many of them were yet to receive the first or second dose of vaccinations, which made them vulnerable to coronavirus infection.
Supporting their stand, Maharashtra Students Welfare Association (MSWA) president Vaibhav Edke said transportation and accommodation would be a big problem for examinees if they were to appear for offline papers. “Instead, blended mode should be adopted by the university by balancing theory and multiple-choice questions,” he said as reported by TOI.
Some outstation students complained that their hostels were deployed to accommodate Covid patients and were not ready till date.
“Since public transportation has not reverted to pre-Covid levels, we will face plenty of problems while commuting from our native places to Nagpur,” they said.
