The university conducted a meeting with college principals to explain the new mode of exams.
The questions will carry 100 marks and the exam duration is three hours. “The question papers will be sent to respective colleges 30 minutes before the exam. After the exam, the students need to upload the scanned answer sheets and original answer sheets to the websites of their colleges,” another principal said.
