The Hindu
University says it will go ahead with offline examinations that began on July 9
A letter written by the All Indian Council for Technical Education (AICTE) to A.P.J. Abdul Kalam Technological University (KTU) has sparked confusion on the conduct of the university’s examinations. While the ‘advisory’ recommended online examinations in light of the COVID-19 situation, the university is going ahead with the pending odd-semester examinations that began in the offline mode on July 9. Acting on a letter by Kodikunnil Suresh, MP, to the Union Education Minister, the AICTE exhorted the KTU to revoke its decision to conduct offline examinations and explore an alternative option “owing to the COVID crisis and its severity in Kerala”.More Related News
