In this regard, the University Grants Commission (UGC) has issued a formal notification with guidelines for the academic year schedule, examinations, etc. In states where the prevalence of coronas has decreased, testing could begin in July, it said. In addition, a “corona chamber” will be set up at each university to address student learning and examination problems, and the chamber will be empowered to make all decisions. The same chamber will work in the UGC.

The second and third year lessons will begin on this date; But the new first-year course will begin on September 1st. Intermediate 6 semester students will be graded according to the internal assessment system based on the results of the previous or current semester exams. Depending on the situation, terminal semester students can be tested in July. M.Phil.6, Ph.D. students are given a maximum of 6 months and are allowed to take oral exams at video conferencing. Practical testing of any subject can also be done through video conferencing or Skype. University authorities can take steps if they wish to simplify the examination. The test period can be extended to 2 hours instead of 3 hours. Lessons will continue online. The project will be completed from June 1 to June 15. There will be a summer vacation from June 14 to 30 this year. The terminal and intermediate semester exams will be held from July 1 to 31. All test results will be released by August 16.
