New Delhi: Delhi has decided to call off all state university examinations, including the final-year exams in the wake of rise in coronavirus cases in the capital and across the country.
Announcing this, Delhi education minister Manish Sisodia said that degrees will be awarded on the basis of evaluation parameters decided by the universities.
“All the students in Delhi state universities will be promoted to next semesters and the final year students can be awarded their degree basis their past performance,” Sisodia said.
Sisodia also said that since the exams cannot be held owing to COVID-19 pandemic, students should get their degrees so that their future employment prospects are not jeopardised.
“State universities have been asked to devise parameters for evaluation to award degrees to the final year students,” he said. “It will be injustice to ask students to appear in exams due to the covid-19 pandemic and to hold their degrees in absence of an exam,” Sisodia further said.
