The university grant commission constituted a committee to deliberate and make recommendations regarding the issues related to Examinations and Academic calender.
Taking a holistic view of the present scenario and keeping in mind the fact that educational institutions will be required to follow social distancing for some more time even after the lockdown is lifted, the Committee makes the following recommendations which are advisory in nature. The Committee is also of the view that each university should be at liberty to chart out a contingent plan of action, if the situation so demands, to deal with any sort of exigency.
- All the universities may follow a 6-day week pattern to compensate the loss for the remaining session of 2019-20 and the new session 2020-21.
- The Committee recommends the following calendar for the academic session: 2019-2020.
3. Regarding the requirement of minimum percentage of attendance for the
students/ research scholars, the period of lockdown may be treated as
‘deemed to be attended’ by all the students/ research scholars.
4. The examination will be conducted by university as soon as feasible on the basis of relaxation of the lockdown. The timing of the examination may be considered appropriately by the universities, and examination will be conducted keeping in mind the guidelines of social distancing.
