Students of University of Hyderabad (UoH) and Maulana Azad National Urdu University (Manuu) have joined the nationwide agitation against University Grants Commission’s (UGC) recent guidelines on university exams by participating in online protests.
The UGC guidelines effectively extended the period for conducting final year/semester cohort exams (online, offline or combined mode) until September-end. It further allows students, who miss the September exam, to appear for a special exam “as and when feasible”.
Students from Hyderabad have termed the guidelines ‘anti-student’. As part of a larger nationwide protest, UoH and Manuu students will participate in various movements such as signature campaigns, mailing the Union HRD ministry over the next three days.
“Students should be promoted based on their past performance. Only those keen to improve their marks should be given an option to appear for exams. Already, students are under mental agony due to this pandemic. By setting a deadline for the exams, UGC is only making matters worse,” said UoH student union president, Abhishek Nandan.
