To bring your attention to an important issue that is collectively faced by all the 5th semester students under Calicut University.The University decision to conduct all the pending semester exams (3rd,4th, 5th and 6th Semester exams) in the coming months is very much unfair to the students.

We have recently received the notification for the 3rd semester exams to begin on Sep 20th, while we are already nearing the end of the classes for 5th semester .

During the past one year of sit at home online studies, students from different backgrounds have gone through many difficulties like missing classes due to network connectivity issues, inaccessibility of devices for online classes, financial issues etc. Also, online classes have their own limitations.All of these have considerably affected their studies in a negative manner.

While students are already struggling with such innumerable problems, the University decision to conduct 4 semester exams within 7 months is something that deepens the crisis and causes immense tension among students.Along with these 4 semester examinations, we have to attend 3 internal examinations, audit course exams, vivas, projects and lab exams.

Hence, we request the university to cancel just the 3rd semester exam.If that's not possible, the University should at least show the generosity to cut short the syllabus.In that way students will be emancipated from this enormous tension.

--> Within 7 Months,

*-4 sem exams
*-3 internals
*-Open course exam
*-Assignments
*-Project
*-Viva
*-Lab exams

*-Per Day
30,000+ covid cases
TPR 18%+

*-No special Exams for covid patients as per latest notifications of CU

* Overbearing of semester exams and classes (Example: 3rd sem exam during 5th sem classes and 2nd sem during 4th sem classes)

Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Looking forward to your considerate action on the same.
