In the midst of the ongoing objections of students for holding online examinations continue, Devi Ahilya Vishwavidyalya (DAVV) in view of the rising COVID-19 cases in the city has indicated to postpone its scheduled examinations supposed to be conducted on the offline mode.

“We are considering a proposal to extend exams by six days due to the current Covid19 situation,” said a senior officer of the examination department of DAVV. Undergraduate second and final year exams are scheduled from April 1. About 1.20 lakh students are going to take the exams, which as per government’s orders are to be held in offline mode. The government order had been issued in January  when the coronavirous cases had come down significantly.. However, in the last two weeks, the situation changed and cases started increasing prompting student leaders to demand for an open book online exam. Lately, higher education Minister Mohan Yadav stated that he has left the decision on the district level crisis management committee. The committee in consultation with the university will decide whether the examination should be held in online or offline mode.

This led to protests by student leaders. Protests are going on for online exams for the past 10 days even as DAVV has made preparations for conducting exams in offline mode following orders of the state government. It has selected centres and got question papers printed. The DAVV administration said it is ready for conducting exams in online and offline mode. “It is up to the government to decide which mode it wants us to conduct exams,” examination controller Ashesh Tiwari said.
