Gujarat University (GU) is weighing the option of conducting online exam for external students who are in their intermediate semesters. This was discussed at the varsity’s academic and syndicate meet on Saturday.
“While everyone agreed to assess the academic performance of students by laying 50% weightage on assignments, for the remaining half whether to conduct online exam or assess by performance in the previous semester is something that has to be finalized,” said a GU official.
“A final decision on this is expected to be announced soon. Further, it was decided at the meet to terminate the chemistry professor involved in a sexual harassment case after taking a proper legal opinion,” the official said.
The GU has already conducted exams for the final year students. But it is still to decide about the external students who are in their first or second year of undergraduate courses.
The varsity has conducted offline round of exams for regular students in arts, commerce and science, and law students in two phases, one of which began from September 3 and the other from September 12.
The varsity has, following the University Grants Commission’s guidelines, exempted regular students who are in their intermediate semesters from taking college exams. They have been assessed based on their internal marks and previous semester performances.
