RGPV, technical university of Madhya Pradesh, has started preparation to conduct final semester exams for engineering and other technical courses online from July 27.

RGPV has also issued notification to start online semester classes of polytechnic colleges across the state from July 15.

RGPV’s PRO Shashi Ranjan Akela told TOI that the university will put the draft to conduct final year exams in the next executive council meeting. RGPV has also decided to start practical exams from August 4-5. Talking about the mode of the exam, Akela said, “As of now RGPV is working on conducting online exams. The offline exam decision will be at a later stage by the council.” RGPV is to conduct an exam of 36,000 final year students. Earlier, RGPV had announced to conduct an exam from July 7 but it was postponed after the state government declared to provide general promotion to the students including to those in the final year. Sources said, students will be given the weight of 50% of the semester grade point average (SGPS), based on their seventh semester. These will be based on a committee that had made specific recommendations for conducting exams from July 7. As per recommendation, at least two mock tests would be organised before the final exams to help students familiarise with the online test process.

The platform to be used for the exam should be compatible with desktop, laptop, tablet and smartphones. Students will have to record themselves taking the exam to check the possibility of cheating and other unfair means.
