The Hindu
Petition filed by 29 students against offline exams dismissed
The APJ Abdul Kalam Technological University can take appropriate decisions regarding the conduct of examinations in the colleges affiliated to it, after considering all relevant aspects and taking due precautions against COVID-19, the Kerala High Court has said. Justice Anu Sivaraman issued the order while dismissing a petition filed by 29 students of various colleges against the university’s decision to hold examinations in the offline mode. The petitioners contended that the decision was illegal as the University Grants Commission had clearly mandated that assessment shall be made only by internal evaluation and previous semester scores as suggested in its 2020 guidelines.More Related News
