Representative Image BHUBANESWAR: Biju Patnaik University of Technology (BPUT) has managed to conduct end-semester examinations of undergraduate (UG) and postgraduate (PG) courses in online mode despite protest from students and widespread criticism for its difficult-to-meet guidelines for examinations. It has also announced results of these examinations.
The university has conducted online examinations between July 9 and August 20 for final semester students of BTech, BArch, BPlan, BPharm, MSc Integrated and MBA courses. It has been publishing results in phased manner. Results of BTech and MSc (Integrated) were published on August 13. Later results of other courses were announced.
But the results of last two subjects BPharm and MBA were declared on Thursday. With this, the whole process for online examination and result publication of all final year UG and PG courses has come to an end.
Official sources said number of BTech final semester students is the highest among students of other courses. As many as 12,123 students out of total 20,268 had appeared the BTech final semester examination on August 8 and 9 and published the results on August 13. A total of 11,553 students passed the online examination.
But 40 per cent of the total final year BTech students of BPUT could not appear for the online examination. They may sit for offline examination after the opening of the institution. Out of total 25,452 final semester UG and PG students of the university, 15,825 students from different courses have appeared the online test.
