Maharashtra Minister of Higher and Technical Education Uday
Samant in a letter to the University Grants Commission (UGC) said that
the state has decided to promote all college students except those in
their final year.
Mr Uday Samant has further
requested UGC to “consider the option of promoting students without
conducting exams of last year” for undergraduate and postgraduate
programmes.
In the letter to UGC, Mr Uday
Samant said: “State government took decisions to promote students of
diploma, undergraduate, postgraduate to next year except students of
final year. The grading of the students will be done as per UGC and
State Level Committee’s guidelines.”
Maharashtra Government had appointed a state-level
committee to advise the state government regarding the conduct of
examinations and the academic calendar based on UGC guidelines. The
committee submitted its report on May 6.
Mr Samant said that the
decision was taken as the COVID-19 epidemic has made conducting exams in
July difficult. Citing the same reason, the minister requested UGC to
final year students without exams.
Mr Samant said: “Considering
the pandemic situation in the state, conducting exams of approximately 8
lakh to 10 lakh students by following all safety protocols and in view
of students’ mental and physical well being, I hereby request your good
self to kindly consider the option of promoting students without
conducting exams of last year undergraduate and postgraduate and grade
them as per UGC guidelines.”
