CHANDIGARH: The Punjab Engineering College (deemed to be university) will start online semester classes for the existing students from July 27. This has been decided by the PEC senate on Tuesday.
Members of the senate have decided that the new semester will start from July 27 and will complete in October. Now, PEC will have six-week teaching, instead of five till October.
A decision has been taken that all the semesters will have three-hour online classes i.e. one hour for each subject. Considering the stress which the students are dealing with due to Covid-19, it has been decided that all the departments will teach four courses, instead of five, which they used to have in the past.
The left out subjects will be covered next year by all the departments.
The senate has left the decision on the departments as to which course they want to leave for the next year. Every student has to submit his/her intermediate assignments online till the classes resume on the campus.
It has also been decided that if the situation doesn't turn normal, classes for new students of M Tech will also be held online in September and for B tech in October.
Dheeraj Sanghi, director, PEC said the schedule, which will be designed for online classes, will consider that students will not have to attend classes for more than three hours in a day. He said the institute will review the situation from time-to-time and take a call about amendments if required.
In the meeting, student representation was also tabled which is about examination of the existing session.
The senate approved a tentative examination plan if the situation will become normal by November. According to the plan, the examination for the syllabus covered from July to October will be held on November 4.
The members also discussed that as the institution has not been able to conduct exams of the last semester, 2019-20, which was scheduled in March, a tentative plan has been chalked out that to conduct the exams on November 4 and then give a three-week to all the students. The faculty will hold extra classes during the break and revise the syllabus of the last semester of the 2019-20, so that examination can be conducted in December.
