Chandigarh, August 28- The Supreme Court today has said that the intention of any student is to pursue a graduate or postgraduate final year degree through examinations and not to get the degree on an average basis without appearing for examination. The Apex Court said this while announcing its judgment on the on-going issue of promoting final year students without holding examinations.
Haryana Education Minister, Mr. Kanwar Pal has welcomed the decision of Supreme Court, stating that COVID-19 is not considered as the basis for not conducting undergraduate and postgraduate final year or semester examinations. He said that now as per the plans of University Grants Commission (UGC), the Universities and Colleges of various states have to conduct examinations by September 30, 2020. He said that if any state is unable to conduct examinations during this period then they have to send their request to the UGC.
The Education Minister said that when a student works hard for 14 years till his graduation, and does not get a valid degree, then it cannot be termed appropriate. He said that Haryana Higher Education Department is preparing to conduct online or offline examination of students. For this, necessary arrangements will be made for conducting examinations following the guidelines issued for COVID-19.
