Varsity to submit detailed proposal to Higher Education Minister
Mahatma Gandhi University (MGU) has recommended a common online platform for holding examinations of four universities in the State amid fears that the worsening pandemic crisis may lead to an inordinate delay in the conduct of offline examinations. The proposal for a common online platform emerged as a possible alternative to overcome uncertainties over the timely conduct of offline examinations during the pandemic. “Our idea is to have a common online platform for Kerala, Mahatma Gandhi, Kannur and Calicut universities that have a huge number of affiliated colleges. We cannot rule out further delay in the conduct of offline exams in view of the possible third or fourth wave,” said Sabu Thomas, Vice Chancellor. The University Grants Commission (UGC) had also asked universities not to conduct offline examinations in May. A review will be done to decide whether it can be held in June.
