UGC's revised guidelines: Testing times for students
Educational institutions across the country have been closed since March, and when they will reopen remains under a cloud of uncertainty as COVID-19 cases continue to surge. The MHA’s press release stated: “The final term examinations are to be compulsorily conducted as per the UGC guidelines and academic calendar for the universities and as per the Standard Operating Procedure approved by the Union Ministry of Health and Family Welfare.” Objections from States At least four State governments, national teacher associations and their federations and student bodies have objected to this given the rise in COVID-19 cases. It pointed out that final year students had been completely assessed in previous semesters and internally assessed for the current semester and could easily be awarded degrees on the basis of this if first and second year students could be “passed” with a much more limited assessment and without an examination. The Federation of Central Universities’ Teachers’ Associations slammed the UGC guidelines for being self-contradictory, echoing the DUTA’s arguments by highlighting the fact that the guidelines were applicable only to final year students “who had gone through several rounds of formal evaluation and assessments while pursuing their courses” and not to “students at the earlier and more foundational stages of courses were evaluated to a much lesser extent”. The FEDCUTA argued that for final year students “only a small part of the total evaluation” was pending when colleges and universities were shut down.
