In order to maintain strict social distancing norms, there would be two shifts in schools and colleges. Taling about pending examinations the minister said, “We are trying to get declared all the results from the examinations this session by August 15. This means those exams which have already taken place before and those which are taking place now“.
As far as university exams are concerned most of the University in line with UGC’s advice has decided to conduct exams only for final year students. Maharashtra meanwhile has decided not to conduct that too. India would not like to go the Israel way with a hast decision. In Israel, the schools were forced to shut after reopening as the cases boomed in students and teachers.
