TIMES NEWS NETWORK 24.06.2020
Chandigarh: Under pressure from student outfits, the Haryana higher education and technical education departments have announced to promote students of terminal classes without holding examinations.
The students of these classes will be promoted to the next semester with 50% weightage of marks of internal assessment/ assignment plus 50% weightage of marks in previous examinations. However, the students will have the option to go for examinations for improvement of grades once the situation becomes normal in the state. The same formula will be applicable for distance education/private students too.
The orders also said the universities can opt for online examinations “only if they have the sufficient and elaborate arrangements and infrastructure for conducting such examinations.”
An order related to this was issued from the office of principal secretary and financial commissioner Ankur Gupta in which the departments concerned have been told to take action accordingly in consultation with vice-chancellors of the universities.
The government order has come a day after NSUI state president Divyanshu Budhiraja approached the Punjab and Haryana high court against the order of higher education department related to exemption to students from out of Haryana from appearing in the examinations, while, it was made mandatory for local students. ABVP state executive member Purnoor had also submitted memorandums for the Haryana governor.
