PUNE: The Progressive Education Society (PES) has suggested to the University Grants Commission to allow one year autonomy to NAAC accredited institutions with 3.10 and above CGPA to conduct semester exam of final year students on their own capacity to reduce the burden of the Savitribai Phule Pune University (SPPU).

Gajanan Ekbote, chairman of PES, said all other colleges with lesser CGPA could be considered by SPPU for exams.

Ekbote said, "In order to reduce the burden of conduct of the examinations of the parent universities, the colleges and institutes accredited by National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC)or National Board of Accreditation with higher grades (CGPA 3.10 and above) should be granted autonomy temporarily for a period of one year, this year. These colleges may be permitted to conduct final last year/semester examinations of the students of various courses. This will reduce the burden of the university from the conduct of examinations point of view."


In his letter to the UGC, he said all other colleges should be considered by the university for conduct of the examinations and the format may be descriptive theory or multiple choice question type.

Ekbote also suggested that the examinations may be conducted in an online or offline mode at the nearest centre .
