Technical varsities to hold exams online, says UP secretary of technical education

The Uttar Pradesh technical education department is finalizing the modalities to hold online exams for students in its three technical institutes under three universities, said secretary technical education, Alok Kumar on Sunday. Replying to a question asked by a student on Twitter, he said “Online exams will be first conducted for final year students and then for other batches.”

When questioned about the feasibility of online exams in view of poor internet connectivity as 90% students resides in villages, Kumar said, “You won’t need very high connectivity. We are figuring this out. One of the solutions is that you can go to the nearest common service centre.” He also assured students that they will be given sufficient time to prepare, and said that it is likely for the question paper to be of objective type.
