Bhubaneswar: The Odisha Government today urged the Union Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD) to reconsider the revised guidelines of UGC and not to make the conduct of Under Graduate (UG) and Post Graduate (PG) final term exams mandatory.
State Higher Education minister Arun Sahoo wrote a letter to Union Human Resource Development Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal in this regard on Thursday.
MHRD has been requested to allow the state government to adhere to its decision of cancellation of these examinations, Sahoo said.
In the letter he pointed out that at present it is very risky to conduct examinations with more than two lakh students in the classrooms.
He urged Pokhriyal to review the decision in view of the rising situation.
Earlier, the UGC said that the special examinations can be conducted by the university whenever possible so that the students do not face any inconvenience or loss. This provision will only be applicable as a one-time measure for the current academic session 2019-20.
