The students are in a state of confusion due to this. Already they suffered a lot on academic
front due to corona in last two years with classes online, offline, no classes and so on.
ACI expressed that:
1. Undergraduate students gave online exams and passed with flying colours, but the irony is
they even don’t have subject knowledge.
2. If the students of 10th and 12th Board can give offline exams, why the PG and UG students
can’t give it.
3. All schools are conducting offline exams, why University can’t conduct offline exam
4. Even if they score 90% it is not going to help as they don’t have the basic subject knowledge.
5. Because of online exams, students are not studying at all.
6. Students even do not know the syllabus of the subject they are supposed to appear in the
exam.
7. University is saying students are not ready, excepting few other students have studied well.
8. University has issued notification on 24th Feb. that the exams will be offline, now why they
are backing out.
9. We should consider short term and long term consequences of holding online exam.
10. NU has given two months advance notice for offline exams, so it is not understood why
they are now backing out from their own decision and resorting to online exams.
It is appealed that University should consider this aspect keeping students future in mind and
reconsider their decision to conduct online exam and should go back to offline exam as
notified earlier.
