KOLKATA: Several educationists, professors and principals, both former and serving, have raised concern over the demand of a section of students to conduct semester examinations online. It is time for academics to return to normal and students must also reconcile to it and prepare themselves accordingly, they felt.
According to them, it is only a small section of students who is trying to create unrest on campuses over the issue of offline-online examination as they are either not prepared for examinations or want to resort to unlawful means to get good grades.
Over the past few days, a section of students has been protesting in Rabindra Bharati University and Aliah University over the decision to hold offline exams. At RBU, where examinations began on May 18, almost all students turned up for the offline examination despite protests a day before.
