Dr APJ Abdul Kalam Technical University (AKTU) and Khwaja Moinuddin Chisti Language University (KMCLU) will conduct examinations for their final-year students in September first week.

For the first time since its establishment over 20 years ago, final year students of AKTU will be appearing for a multiple choice question-based examination. Around 60,000 AKTU students will appear for the objective type exams, which would be conducted from September 1-5.

“Our students have received job offers and they need a degree at the earliest. Hence, we decided to go for an MCQbased examination which will be held on OMR sheet. It will also speed up the evaluation process and ensure that results are declared on time,” said AKTU vice-chancellor Prof Vinay Kumar Pathak.

He said that the examination of carryover papers of final year students will also be conducted along with the regular exams.

“In the two-hour exam, students will have to attempt 75 questions. The examinations of all three subjects of engineering courses will be held on one day. The exams for MBA and BPharma will be conducted within two days. The examinations will be held in three shifts,” Pathak added.

Meanwhile, around 600 students of Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti Language University (KMCLU) will appear for two-hour exams instead of three. The varsity will be conducting the exams from September 1-15.

“We will be reducing both the duration of the exam and the number of questions to be answered. Earlier, there were four units in a question paper and it was mandatory for a student to attempt one question of 10 marks from each unit. Now, students will have to attempt two questions from the four units, which will carry 20 marks each,” said KMCLU vice-chancellor Prof Mahrukh Mirza. He said there will be no change in the short answer section, which is compulsory for all students. The sections contains six questions of five marks each.
