It has been a really long journey for final year students who have been awaiting an update on their exams for the longest time now. While the exams were due a couple of months back, the pandemic had brought everything to a halt. However, what caused further delay is the students demanding no exams along with the States trying their best to work their way out.

However, it was on August 28, 2020, that the Supreme Court decided to rule out its verdict to mandatorily conduct final year exams as per the guidelines for University Grants Commissions. However, it also went on to rule out that the states can ask permission from UGC to conduct exams at a delayed time and don’t have to necessarily conduct them before September 2020.

As a result of the same, Universities are now looking at conducting exams in September-October including the likes of Allahabad, BHU, Mumbai, and others. The schedule for many has already been issued and these exams will be taken place with the help of various methods suggested by UGC including the likes of online exams, open book exams, etc.

The idea behind taking exams across the next two months is the fact that many are not prepped enough to take these exams after all. Meanwhile, there have been SOPs laid out by UGC as well as the Ministry of Health and these must be followed. Some of them include the fact that those belonging to containment zones, staff or students, will not be allowed to be physically present at the centers and arranges will have to be made for them.
