Semester examinations would be held solely directly in all types of colleges in
tamil Nadu, according to the Department of Higher Education. The corona pandemic forced the closure of schools and universities in
march of last year. Colleges reopened after the virus receded, but the second wave forced them to close again. The colleges began classes in
september of last year. Due to the northeast monsoon and the depression, heavy rains are currently falling across
tamil Nadu. As a result, classes are held online.
Meanwhile, in the
madurai Goripalayam area, American
college students organised a demonstration yesterday in front of the
madurai Collector's Office, demanding that
college classes not be held directly and semester exams be held online. In light of this, the Department of Higher
education in
tamil Nadu has announced that semester examinations will be held exclusively in all types of colleges in the state. The Registrars of all Universities under the Department of Higher
education, as well as the
director of Technical
education and the
director of
college education, have received a circular from Higher
education Secretary Karthikeyan.
"With the decreasing number of corona patients in
tamil Nadu, all forms of semester examinations shall be conducted directly in all higher
education institutions operating under the Department of Higher
education," the document stated. All of these tests must be completed in accordance with Corona recommendations. Engineering, arts and sciences, polytechnic colleges, and
university departments are all affected by the regulation.
