Gorakhpur: DDU Gorakhpur University is soon going to become the first in the country to give candidates the opportunity to appear in a research entrance examination while sitting at their home.
The candidates who have applied for Research Entrance Test (RET) 2020-21 would be allowed to appear in the exam online, while sitting at home, said DDU Gorakhpur University vice-chancellor Prof Rajesh Singh.
Only the IITs and NIITs had held regular examinations in online mode during Covid-19 pandemic, and now DDU will conduct the RET examination on January 10 allowing candidates to appear online from home.
The university has completed all necessary preparations for the online examination. About 5,000 candidates have registered to appear in the exam. Artificial intelligence will be used along with human processing to ensure free and fair exam.
