Still a huge Problem?

cases across Maharashtra.
All state public universities will
conduct their exams, including final-year exams, in the online mode,
said state minister for higher and technical education Uday Samant,
in the wake of rising Covid-19 cases across Maharashtra. University
of Mumbai (MU) had released a circular in March clarifying that all
university exams will be conducted in online mode in multiple choice
questions (MCQ) format. “Not just theory exams, but affiliated
colleges have also ensured that practical exams are conducted
online.
So, we have nothing to worry about,” said a senior
official from MU. Similarly, most state universities have already
announced that exams will be held in the online mode owing to the
latest lockdown situation across the State. “Safety of staff and
students is our focus, and we will make sure no student is at a loss
due to the current situation.
We have also been in talks with
the authorities to get all teachers and other non-teaching staff to
get vaccinations on priority so that the examination and results
process is not hindered,” said Samant. He added that the education
department also hopes to get all 3.7 million students pursuing
undergraduate and postgraduate courses in state universities
vaccines on priority.
