To overcome delay in conducting offline exams due to the pandemic
The Cochin University of Science and Technology (Cusat) has decided to opt for the digital route to hold its final semester postgraduate exams to overcome the possible delay in holding offline exams in view of the worsening pandemic situation. “We are planning to hold the final semester postgraduate exams online from next week,” said Vice Chancellor K.N. Madhusoodanan. The varsity had postponed its examinations after Governor Arif Mohammed Khan, the Chancellor, had asked the authorities not to hold offline exams following the second wave. “The online exams for postgraduate courses will not be much of a logistical hurdle for us, as there are only 15 to 20 students each in a batch. Students will submit their projects online. The viva voce based on projects will also be held on the online platform,” said Prof. Madhusoodanan.
