Students of engineering and arts colleges here demanded cancellation of physical exams as announced by the State government.
The government had announced conduct of physical exams for the semester starting January 20. The announcement comes a year and after unconventional teaching and learning methods forced by the pandemic. Until now, since the reopening of college after a long hiatus, evaluation was being done through online testing mode including conduct of exams online. The online testing involved open book tests.
“The online classes were often seen as a farce, since no actual learning and teaching happened,” said a student.

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.
