UGC formed a committee to recommend how examinations can be conducted amidst this coronavirus crisis that has in a way crippled the education system of the country. Based on the recommendations received by the committee, the UGC has prepared a set of rules to conduct the UG and PG examinations to ensure the students do not lose a semester or a year. The same has been forwarded to the Vice-Chancellor of each University. TSCHE also conducted a meeting to discuss the rules and recommendations of UGC and came up with a set recommendation of which the highlights have been provided below -

• Will reduce the duration of examination to 2 Hours from the existing 3 hours and along with it make subtle changes to the exam pattern yet covering the entire syllabus

• Exams will be conducted only for the final semester UG/PG students along with the backlogs and exams for the intermediate semesters to be conducted in November/December or as and when the regular classes commence

• Intermediate semester students will be promoted even if the students have backlogs

• Conventional UG programme exams will be conducted in two sessions daily

• Seminars, viva-voice, projects etc will be conducted in online mode

• All the COVID-19 protective protocols to be followed strictly during examinations

• The exams will be conducted from 20th June 2020 onwards desirably

The students who are in the intermediate semesters will be promoted to the next semester without taking into consideration the previous backlogs. However, it is important for the students to score a required credit in the examination which will be conducted by the Varsities. The decision has been taken by the varsity authorities in lieu of the Coronavirus Pandemic. As the exam will be conducted for only the final year students, it will be much easier to maintain Social Distancing in the exam hall.

This is the July 10 notification.
