We have started our preparations to conduct the offline examination for the next semester. We will be conducting it under the traditional long answers pattern which was conducted before Covid, Mahesh Kakade, SPPU examination and evaluation department said.
Savitribai Phule Pune University (SPPU) has announced that it will conduct the semester-end examination in offline mode. This move comes after state higher education department submitted its report to the state government after listening to various student group concerns.
“We have started our preparations to conduct the offline examination for the next semester. We will be conducting it under the traditional long answers’ pattern which was conducted before Covid. In the last two years, the exams were conducted online through the MCQ method but it was due to the limitations of the pandemic but now as restrictions have been eased and students have come back to college campuses, we are ready to conduct exams like before. As all the universities are different and everyone has decided to conduct the examinations in offline mode from now, the decision regarding how to conduct the exams whether in the MCQ or traditional manner is up to that university,” said Mahesh Kakade, SPPU examination and evaluation department head.
The Bombay High Court on May 30 while hearing a petition on ‘uniformity of conducting examinations across state universities and declaring results in a time-bound manner’ directed the higher education ministry to hold a meeting with the vice-chancellors of state universities and also hear the petitioners’ side and submit their report to the state government.
Accordingly, the petitioners, in this case, activists Kalpesh Yadav and Blausha Bhasal, held a meeting with the state higher education director Dhanraj Mane on June 1 and also submitted an additional letter along with the earlier petition to the department. Whereas after the meeting on June 2, Mane submitted the report on the petitioners’ say to the state government.
