UGC urges universities to not conduct offline exams in May

UGC has written a letter addressing universities to not conduct any offline examinations in May amid the Covid-19 surge.

Amid rising Covid-19 cases in the country, the University Grants Commission, UGC, has penned a letter to universities asking them not to conduct any offline examinations during May for the safety of students, teachers, and non-teaching staff, who are all fighting the deadly pandemic in one way or another. The commission, however, allowed the universities to make decisions regarding the conduct of online examinations after assessing local conditions and their preparedness.
