CHENNAI: University of Madras will declare this week the results of more than two lakh candidates who had appeared for online exams conducted between December 2020 and February 2021.

More than 50,000 first year students appeared for first semester exams conducted from February 10 to 23. The university also conducted an arrear exam for around 60,000 students between December 21 and February 10. One lakh had registered for the arrear exam in April 2020 that the government cancelled in August citing Covid. But a high court order in December directed all the state universities to conduct the arrear exams.

The university will release the second year exam results.

“The colleges which received questions from the university have sent them to students through WhatsApp. The students wrote the exams from their homes and sent the answer sheets on the same day to the respective colleges. The colleges evaluated the answer scripts and sent the marks to the university. The exams were not monitored. It was conducted based on mutual trust,” a principal from a city college said.

Anna University is also preparing to publish by the last week of March the results of 4.25 lakh students who appeared for an online proctored test. Among the students, 2.7 lakh have appeared for arrear exams.

Nagpur school holding exams online, seeks submission offline

[ad_1]

Read More/Less


NAGPUR: Students of a well-known multibranch CBSE school are baffled as their exams are being conducted online, but submissions are being mandated offline. A parent from the school said students appear for the pen-paper exam at home only with questions coming online, but the answer sheet is required to be submitted to school for evaluation.

“It’s nothing but harassment of parents because they are asking us to submit it after every paper. So, every parent will be making five to six trips to submit the answersheet to the school,” said the parent.

The parent added that this problem gets accentuated because of another mandatory condition.

“They tell us to come at a particular time else submissions won’t be accepted. Now, how is it possible for a working parent to reach the school at such a fixed time?” asked the parent. Internally conducted and assessed exams can be held both online and offline, but this paper submission is something which education officials have also not come across.

TOI spoke to an education official about the issue who requested anonymity citing the ongoing budget session during which officials avoid making public statements. “Even I am surprised why the school is not accepting scanned copies of the answersheet. If it’s an optional thing then fine, the parents can decide in which format they wish to submit their child’s papers. In times like these, schools must avoid unnecessary confrontation with parents,” said the official.

The official said there is not much they can do. “The school is not calling students to campus, so technically there is no violation of safety protocols,” he added.

TOI had reported on Wednesday that internal exams cannot be mandated in physical mode. Schools have to provide an online exam option to students because Maharashtra government has made it clear that physical attendance in schools is not mandatory.

Rashmi Raj of Carmel High School said the being conducted over a period of two and a half months will help students revise the syllabus in a concentrated manner.

Sacchi Verma of St Joseph’s Convent High School said it is a relief that the board has finally released the exam schedule. “I wasn’t able to decide what to study first. Now I have planned my schedule accordingly. I have also accelerated my syllabus revision,” she said.

However some class XII students have some reservations regarding the commencement of exams from April. Abhishek Kumar said, “Our juniors and CBSE students will have their exams from May 5, which is almost a month after our first paper. In an academic session where the situation was equally difficult and different for everyone, we too deserved that extra month for preparations.”

Not just students, teachers are also happy that the exam schedule has been announced. Renuka Chaudhary, a social science teacher, said, “The shift from offline classes to online classes and back was not easy for us. Now with a fixed schedule and the already curtailed syllabus, students should be able to approach their exams in a better manner,” she said.

Parents are also optimistic about their wards after getting ample time for preparation. Neelu Singh, the mother of a class X student, said, “Exams begin in May. I am grateful that the board is giving sufficient time for preparation and revision after a difficult year. I also hope the board will be lenient during evaluation of papers.”
