Keeping this in mind, ABVP in its memorandum have suggested points that include conducting offline/online entrance examination in between the last week of July to August, conducting undergraduate and postgraduate intermediate semester examinations as soon as possible, compulsorily conducting examinations of final year students on the basis of alternative combination of papers, resuming the new academic session for technical and traditional courses as per the circumstances and other issues.

The learning process that takes place in students has also been hampered due to the pandemic. We have submitted a detailed memorandum to the University Grants Commission giving importance to issues like starting the academic session of students on time and other issues. We hope that the University Grants Commission will soon take steps in the larger interest of the students.”
