Bhubaneswar: Higher Education Minister Arun Sahoo on Friday informed that teachers will be entrusted with the responsibility of mentoring students for the undergraduate (UG) and postgraduate (PG) examinations, which will be conducted in virtual mode.
After a meeting with the principal of the degree colleges, he said the mentoring system has been devised to ensure that the online examinations are conducted without hassles. “One teacher will mentor eight students and guide them to attend the online exams without any trouble,” he said.
“The teachers will be assigned the responsibility from today and some colleges have already started the process,” he added.
On June 18, a high-level meeting of the Vice-Chancellors had unanimously decided to conduct the final year or final semester examinations for UG and PG students in online mode in July or August.
Students, who do not have internet facilities, can appear for the exam at the nearest degree college, the minister added.
