Gujarat University will conduct theory exams for undergraduate and postgraduate students in two phases, beginning August 21 and August 31.

As many as 52 exams for students in various semesters such as MA (fourth semester), MCom (fourth semester), MSc (fourth semester) and LLB (second and fourth semester) will be held from August 21. The BA (sixth semester), BBA (sixth semester), BCom (sixth semester), BCA (sixth semester), BSc (sixth semester) exams will be held from August 31.

The duration of each exam will be of two hours. For students who cannot participate in this pen and paper exam or for students who are from other states or overseas, the varsity will conduct special online exams in multiple-choice questions (MCQ) format. The dates for the special exam will be announced later.

According to the GU directives, the exams will be conducted with proper sanitization methods and social distancing at exam centres. Decisions on keeping exam centres at the district level and halving the number of students per classroom from 30 to15 have been taken in the past.

Students in intermediate semesters will be evaluated on internal assessments. The annual exams for colleges were deferred this year due to the Covid-19 pandemic. In May, the state government had announced that terminal examinations for all varsities in Gujarat would be held from June 25. The government had to reverse this after many varsities called off the examinations due to protests by students.
