HC nod to offline exams of UG, PG courses

Telangana High Court on Tuesday declined to pass any orders over State government’s decision to conduct offline final semester/year exams of under-graduate and post-graduate courses in colleges affiliated to universities in the State.

This would enable universities and colleges to conduct final semester/year exams of UG and PG courses physically. The HC, however, said the guidelines pertaining to COVID-19 have to be complied with completely while conducting exams.

The HC said the government had to follow the assurance given to the court that it would conduct advanced supplementary exams if anyone fails to appear for the offline exams. Such candidates should be treated as regular candidates as stated by the government, a bench of Chief Justice Raghvendra Singh Chauhan and Justice B. Vijaysen Reddy said.

The advanced supplementary exams should be held within two months of conducting the final semester/annual exams. The bench was hearing two PIL petitions seeking direction to State government to hold final semester/annual exams of UG and PG courses online.

The bench made it clear that it cannot interfere with government’s decision to hold offline exams for students of deemed universities and autonomous colleges. Advocate General B.S. Prasad presented an affidavit filed by Collegiate Education Commissioner in this regard, assuring to hold exams physically by adhering to all guidelines relating to COVID-19.

EPL: Fernando Torres predicts how Chelsea, Liverpool, others will finish this season

Published

on

Former Chelsea and Liverpool striker, Fernando Torres, has predicted the position the Blues, Reds and Manchester City will finish on the Premier League table this 2020/21 season.

Liverpool won the Premier League title last season ahead of Pep Guardiola’s side (second position) and Chelsea (fourth position).

But Torres believes Jurgen Klopp’s side and Man City will still compete for the Premier League top two positions, while Chelsea will finish behind them, adding that Frank Lampard’s side is building a fantastic team for the future.

“I think they are building a fantastic team, not just for this season, but for the future,” Torres told talkSPORT.

“They are building a very interesting squad, but they’re young, and you can see Frank [Lampard] can manage a young team as he did last season in a brilliant way.

“They will be close, but I don’t know if they can compete with Liverpool and Man City.

“Hopefully, they can go for the Premier League right until the end.

“I think Liverpool will still be stronger than Man City or Chelsea. In the next two or three years, the Premier League, again, will be the top league in the world.

“The future stars are going there. It is an exciting moment for Premier League fans.”
