A committee was formed by UGC to look into ways to conduct university exams and form alternate academic calendars during the ongoing Covid-19 situation. The committee has recommended the academic session should start from September 2020.
Another committee was formed to suggest measures on online education. It has suggested to conduct online exams if universities have means and infrastructure or to wait till lockdown is over.
MHRD (the Ministry of Human Development Resources) will issue guidelines next week after studying both the reports and considering feasibility and Covid-19 situation.
The CBSE (Central Board of Secondary Education) board will soon announce new exam dates for pending subjects for 10th and 12th classes which will be conducted shortly after lockdown ends in India. The board has also decided to increase the number of examiners so that results can be announced on time. Exam date sheets will be published by the board as soon as MHRD approve it.
