93% SPPU students want online exams

Pune: A survey by Yukrand, a union of Savitribai Phule Pune University (SPPU) students, has revealed that they still want to attempt the exam in the online mode. Over 21,000 students took the survey and 93 % of them stated that the exam be conducted in an online manner while the rest agreed to offline exams. The university has announced offline winter semester examinations and its departments and affiliated colleges have started offline classes since October but many students are unable to make it to colleges and university departments, and the teaching is in blended manner.

SPPU is looking at ways to conduct an offline examination for the current semester. Various members of the examination reforms committee said that a definite decision can be taken only after Diwali vacations, looking at the number of Covid-19 cases as well as vaccination status of students.

However, efforts are being made to at least keep some part of the three-hour examination in the offline mode. Students are of the opinion that if exams are online, the university must keep centres outside its Pune, Nashik and Ahmednagar jurisdiction too, to accommodate students who may not want to come to the college.

Students also stated that online examinations must also be an alternative, as many students stay out of the state and country.

Yukrand’s office-bearers have written to the SPPU as well as the ministry of higher and technical education to conduct the exams of all the universities through online as well as offline modes.

Vice-president of Yukrand, Pune city unit, Kamlakar Shete, said, “ Students said that since the semester was online except for the last few days, the exam should also be conducted in the same manner.” The summer semester exam could be conducted offline, they added.
