Governor Kalraj Mishra has expressed the need to bring all state-run universities on a common platform for providing real-time information related to admissions, courses, degrees, fees and facilities to students.

During a video conferencing with the VCs of all 27 state varsities, Mishra said every university should come up with an integrated management system to be able to connect with the integrated portal, which will act as a single window for providing all information to students.

Expressing concern over the rising Covid cases, Mishra said, “Every university has to organise the admission process online given the present situation. I ask every institute to work in this direction.” The admission process in the state varsities begins in June and session commences from July first week. Due to the pandemic, the process is yet to start.

Mishra, who is the chancellor of university, directed the varsities to be ready for online classes as soon as the admission process ends.

Most of the VCs expressed their inability toholdonlineexams as they lack technical resources and shortage of infrastructure. He said, “Since most of the universities would like to go for offline exams, they should make all preparations like proper sitting arrangements to ensure social distancing and thermal scanning of every student. Remember, utmost priority has to be given to the safety and security of the students.”
