Final-Year University Exams Cancelled In Maharashtra, Students Celebrates

In these coronavirus times, at one end the lockdown is getting relaxed on the other hand the COVID-19 cases are on the rise. Maharashtra is the worst affected state in India. The one thing that has been concerned for a long time was university exams. The exams cancelled for all the year except the final year.

For the final year, there was no confirmation. Now, Maharashtra CM Uddav Thackery has confirmed that the final-year university exams cancelled and the students will get aggregate marks based on their performance.

Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddav Thackery said:

“I held a meeting of Vice-Chancellors yesterday regarding final year college exams. They unanimously said that the present circumstances do not allow for examinations to be held immediately as it is risky for lakhs of students to come together for exams. So, we have decided that students will get aggregate marks based on their performance in the previous semesters for that academic year.

This is because there is no clarity on when the exams can be held. The future of students should not be kept hanging because of this. Bu4 if a student wants to appear for the final exams to improve their previous performance, they can be given on opportunity in September, October or November, based on how the situation evolves.”

As the news went official, the final year students started to celebrate as they completed their respected course. While the other state students are urging their states to cancel the exams as well.
