After the department of primary and secondary education, Visvesvaraya Technological University has decided to seek stakeholders’ opinion before taking a call on conduct of exams and other academic matters.
In a virtual meeting with college principals on Tuesday, VTU vice-chancellor Karisiddappa asked affiliated institutions to gather opinion from students, parents and teachers on many issues, including exams, and submit it to the university. Opinion of recruiters, industry experts and educationists will also be taken into consideration. Karisiddappa has said exams will be not conducted without at least 25 hours of physical classes for each course.
Students have been knocking on all doors requesting their exams be scrapped, stating online classes have been irregular. However, the university has denied the charge and quoted a survey to say 85% of the students have digital access and 75% portions have been completed.
Students conduct a survey, say in 63.6% of the cases, colleges didn’t ask students if they had access to gadgets or internet
