UGC files response in SC as plea challenges guidelines: What it said on final-year exams
India TV NewsThe University Grants Commission on Thursday filed a response before the Supreme Court to the petitions challenging the July 6 directive mandating all the universities and colleges to conduct final-year examinations by September 30 amid the COVID-19 pandemic. In its detailed response, the regulatory body for higher education said that all universities/institutions in the country are obligated to conduct terminal semester/final year examinations by the end of September 2020. The pleas filed before the top court have sought directions to the authorities to not conduct the final year examinations and to declare results on the basis of past performance or internal assessment of the students. They have also sought directions to the authorities to subsequently provide another chance to improve marks to those willing students, who may be unsatisfied with their score based on past performance or internal assessment.
