New Delhi, Jul 11 (UNI) Deputy Chief Minister and Education Minister of Delhi Manish Sisodia on Saturday announced the Delhi Government's decision to cancel all the upcoming examinations (including semester and final year exams) at Delhi State Universities.
Addressing a digital press conference here, Mr Sisodia said, "Online classes are being streamed. But the absence of regular physical classes, lab classes, practicals, and field research has hampered with the learning of the students. It would be unfair and difficult to hold examinations for the semester, for which teaching-learning was hampered.
'July is the most important month for examinations and evaluation at universities. Delhi Government believes that in these extraordinary times, we need to make extraordinary decisions,' he added.
'That is why the Delhi Government has decided that all upcoming examinations in the Delhi State Universities should be cancelled. This includes all semester and final year examinations. All upcoming examinations for students of first year, second year and third year stand cancelled,' said the Minister.
'It is unfair to conduct examinations for students amid the Coronavirus pandemic, which has already hampered their learning in the absence of regular classes, practicals, and lab work. It is also unfair to withhold their degrees now, without which they cannot start with their professional journey,' Mr Sisodia added.
