: A day after announcement of general promotion in colleges, students of nursing and medical colleges have also raised their demand for the same.
The biggest challenge for higher and technical education is how to issue a pass degree to the students who are yet to clear previous (back papers) semesters. In the wake of the coronavirus crisis, on Monday, CM Shivraj Singh Chouhan had announced general promotion for all university and college students in both higher education and technical education.
Nursing students said that they have been demanding for many days that they should be given relaxation too. The students said if they can’t be given general promotion, at least the exam must be postponed. “We have got guidelines for our exam a few days back. Soon, dates will be announced. What is the hurry in conducting exams for us,” said another student.
“If an engineering student can get general promotion, why not a nursing or medical student?” said a student. The students have also launched their demand on social media using the hashtag #PROMOTE_MEDICALSTUDENTS.
Sources said that both higher education and technical education departments are working on guidelines according to which students will be given general promotion. “It is too early to say how degrees will be given to the students. The biggest challenge is what to do with the students who are in their final year and yet have not cleared a few papers of their previous semesters,” said a professor.
Officials of both higher education and technical education departments refused to elaborate on the announcement, saying guidelines will be issued in a couple of days. There are 17.77 lakh examinees at the undergraduate and postgraduate levels in the current academic session.
