Opposition to Pune University decision to conduct exams for final year students
The Issue
Reasons we want the government to cancel exams and give average marks :
Issues with offline exams :
1) College students are a mixed crowd from various corners of the country, how can safe travel gauranteed.
2) Government/University will take precautions during the 2 hr of the exam. What about the transportation to the city, stay, daily meals, transportation to centre. How can government ensure safety throughout the exam week.
3) All Campus interviews are held on the basis of the average of first three years similarly students have got admitted in esteemed institutions for higher studies based on the average score of three years, so are seven and half semester of hard work not enough to prove our potential?
4) Many hostelities live in private hostels and PGs which are currently closed, where should such students reside ?
5) Some students are from other states, and have to travel through flights/train and cannot afford it recently.
6) Many students are already placed, but due to delay in decision they are loosing their jobs or salary.
7) Some students study on student loans, they are not able to earn an income as the process is so delayed
Issues with online exams :
1) Many students specially from rural areas face connectivity issue even for simple phone calls
2) Many students dont have proper gadgets for online Viva/Exam
3) Stable Power Supply (Electricity) is also an issue in some parts of the Country - thus affecting wifi range and charging of gadgets
