ReplyDeleteAb students ko government deaths dekhna chahti hai
ReplyDeleteR13 batch Ka students death dekhna rah gya hai
ReplyDeleteNow we to wait goverment decision?or what
ReplyDeleteNow we have to wait goverment decision or put this guideline on consideration
ReplyDeleteUniversity should think about the current situation as the number of cases increasing day by day... I'm not saying to promote freely, but I'm trying to say that there are many institutions that conduct online examination in every city like delhi, Guwahati, kolkata. Govt should manage exams at those centers as like rrb requirement examination. It will help students to exam in their nearest city and remove the fear of this pandemic condations. To manage exams like that, u may release a web link publically where students can fill out their location with their hall ticket to know tge students current and nearest city. After passing examination, University should release the certificates online or ship to the students current address... Because, in this situation, traveling to another place can be risk with their life... And problem is not only with the traveling, it is also with the staying perpous. Can u think about where a student stay to attend examination!
ReplyDeleteConduct online exam and those who can't give on-line exams can come and write the exams in September
ReplyDeleteIn Hyderabad 1000+ Covid-19 cases are seen daily in this situation you thinking to conduct examination we are not afraid of examination this not new for us we are not even afraid of our lives we are afraid about the lives of our family and society doctors claims that no community transmission has started in India and we don't want to become the reason of community transmission So kindlyabout it again
ReplyDeleteAnd one more thing, conduct all exams at a time... Because students cannot traveling multiple time or they cannot more at contaminant area... In both of the cause, they may affected by covid 19 . I suggest u to take examination in batch wise, and University should release the date and time of examination against HALL TICKET number. If any students having multiple subject in multiple semester, University should arrange the exam as much closer time they can... Otherwise, it may cause risk of life... Thank you
