On February 11, the University Grants Commission (UGC), in a letter had authorized higher education institutions to take decisions on conducting offline/online classes and holding exams in online/offline/blended mode according to the COVID-19 situation in their areas.

“The process of conducting annual examinations of universities takes 50 to 60 days to complete. It is a huge challenge for the examination centre to ensure arrangements as per COVID preventive protocols for such a long period. Keeping this in mind, instructions were given to conduct the remaining examinations online or in blended mode,” the official said.

Universities would ensure further action in this regard with the approval of respective executive councils, he added.
