Nagpur: After declaring the timetable for its regular (winter) examinations, Nagpur University (NU) released its schedule for conducting papers for failure students on Thursday. NU will hold theory exams for undergraduate and postgraduate students of odd semesters from March 31 to April 15.
After NU announced its schedule for regular exams on Wednesday, a lot of backlog students took to social media asking on the fate of their papers. Many of them also contacted NU authorities in this regard. Students said they were already suffering due to inordinate delay in exams on account of Covid-19 pandemic.
As per the notification issued by Board of Examination and Evaluation (BOEE) director Prafulla Sable, the theory exams of third and fifth semesters of PG regular and ex-students will be held from March 25 to April 10, but those will be conducted at the college/departmental level. In the same period, the papers for regular and ex-students of UG courses have been scheduled. However, those too would be conducted partly at the college/department level.
The exams of UG first semester students for traditional courses will be held from April 24 to May 5.
The notification directed colleges to submit internal tests marks of sessional, practical, project work, seminar, assignments, and viva voce of all UG and PG students before the commencement of theory exams. They were further told to conduct practical exams through online, offline and mixed mode, and upload their results immediately on NU website.
Sable said the exam schedule of the first semester of professional courses, where students are admitted through the centralized admissions process (CAP), will be announced soon.
The students will get a multiple choice question (MCQ) of 40 marks which they need to solve within one hour on their respective mobile handsets. Each question would carry 20 marks with four options and it will include filling up the blanks and matching the following, besides regular questions.
