Students move SC against AKTU s decision to conduct offline exams
A group of students has moved the Supreme Court against the decision of the Lucknow-based Dr. A.P.J Abdul Kalam Technical University (AKTU) to conduct semester examinations in offline mode amid coronavirus and related risks.Â
In the petition filed before the country s top court, students said that gathering of thousands at examination centers is not a safe step amidst the COVID-19 pandemic which has still not ended. Further, they said that the students neither have books nor any resources to prepare for the offline exams.
The petitioners said that the parents and guardians of the students were not giving consent for offline exams considering safety concerns. Pushing for a favorable decision, the plea cited examples of varsities including Punjab University, Amity University, Delhi University, IITs, and NITs that have conducted online examinations.Â
