Kerala CM Pinarayi Vijayan slams bid to disrupt BTech exam

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan has condemned the attack by students’ organization against the exams conducted by the technological university.
He said students’ organization should not engage in such cheap political acts when the government was ensuring all protocols for the conduct of the exam. Kerala Students’ Union (KSU) activists had barged into the College of Engineering in Thiruvananthapuram on Thursday morning before the commencement of BTech third semester exam and had thrown out the question papers. KSU had urged students to boycott the exams. Later, the college authorities cancelled the exam.
The chief minister said the government has been successfully conducting various exams amid the first and the second wave ensuring all Covid protocols. The state had become a role model in this by conducting the exams without any eventuality. The government had tried not to cancel any of the exams right from the beginning of the pandemic. The government is on its efforts to make the functioning of all educational institutions back to normalcy. Hence, such acts by students’ organizations will only jeopardize the attempts of the government to have a smooth academic session, he added.
