Guwahati: Request for ‘Comfortable Online Open Book Examination’ has forced the Gautati University (GU) authority to conduct a graduate semester exam from September 25 through online mode.

While normalcy returned to campus, two main tests, NEET and Combined Competitive Exams of Assam Public Services (CCE), were carried out under the supervision of the authorities through pen-and-paper mode earlier this month.

“When we try to return to offline exam mode, students protest.

But after Durga Puja, there will be no online test under Gu,” Gu Controller of Exitation, DJ Choudhury, told Tii.
The fourth semester examination will end before the holiday of Puja Durga in Gu.
Notifications issued by GU on Tuesday stated that students must send a PDF copy of their answer script after the conclusion of the examination of each paper in the specified time.

Detailed instructions for college authorities regarding the evaluation of the answer script will be told.
“The college authority will arrange to receive student answer scripts on the scheduled date 9 and 10 October (Sunday), 2021,” added notice.
Sources in the State Education Department said that it became an autonomous institution, the university had the freedom to decide on check mode because Covid-19 had significantly controlled.
