The University Grants Commission has revisited its earlier guidelines related to university examinations. In view of the safety, career progression and placements of the students and their larger interests, UGC has decided that Intermediate semester students will be evaluated based on internal assessment as per earlier guidelines issued.

UGC has also decided that the evaluation of terminal semester students will be conducted by the end of September-2020, following the guidelines laid down by the Ministry of Health and Family welfare for COVIDー19.

The Guidelines state that it is important to safeguard the principles of health, safety, fair and equal opportunity for students. At the same time, it is very crucial to ensure academic credibility, career opportunities and future progress of students globally.

According to the guidelines, final year students having backlog should compulsorily be evaluated by conducting examinations offline, online or blended mode as per feasibility and suitability.

In case a student of final year is unable to appear in the examination,the candidate may be given the opportunity to appear in special examinations. This shall be applicable only for the current academic year 2019-20 as a one-time measure.
