Representational Image. HYDERABAD: University of Hyderabad (UoH) will hold its nationwide entrance exams for all post-graduate and research programmes from September 24 to September 26, 2020.
Addressing an online press conference on Wednesday, Prof Appa Rao Podile declared that the decision was taken following the Supreme Court’s nod to the Centre to conduct the joint entrance examination and national eligibility cum entrance test. Record number of over 62,000 candidates seeking admission this year will appear for the entrance exam in 38 centres across the country.
“We will take all precautionary measures for Covid-19. Instead of two sessions, the entrance exam will be held in sessions in a day. It will be a two hour exam. The university has plans to complete the admission process and start classes for the new students latest by first week of November,” said Podile.
The university is resuming academic activities for existing students in a phased manner from Thursday. “Close to 2,000 post-graduate are set to resume online classes from Thursday. Apart from this, 500 PhD scholars are set to come back to the university to the science labs,” said Podile. The process of online instruction will be continuously monitored through an online forum set up to receive feedback from students and faculty.
Task force constituted by the university to look into resumption of academic activities has given academic flexibility to all the deans and heads in terms of covering the syllabus. “We have allowed deans to prune the syllabus if required. However, they should not miss out on core components of the curriculum. The syllabus will be organised in such a manner that all departments can complete it by December, 2020 and next semester can commence by January, 2021,” said Vinod Pavarala, chairman of the task force.
The Alumni Association of UoH has come forward to raise funds to assist needy students during the current crisis.
