Association seeks postponement of II PU midterm exam by 15 days
The Hindu
It cites a lack of mental preparedness among students
Citing a lack of mental preparedness by II PU students to face the midterm examination and incomplete portions, the Dakshina Kannada Pre-University College Principals’ Association has asked the Pre-University Director to postpone the midterm examination by another 15 days. The examination is scheduled to commence from November 29.
In the letter on November 15, the association president and other office-bearers said the students hitherto prepared for the whole year and wrote the annual examination at the end of the academic year.
The sudden announcement of the midterm examination has put students off guard and has left them little time to prepare. With online and offline classes because of COVID-19, the students are yet to be completely involved in learning.

The draft policy for “Responsible Digital Use Among Students”, released on Monday by the Department of Health and Family Welfare, has recommended that parents set structured routines with clear screen-time rules and prioritise privacy, safety, and open conversation with children on digital well-being.
