Cancellation of offline university exams not in government's jurisdiction: Amarinder
Punjab Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh on Sunday pointed out to a Punjab University student that the decision to cancel the offline exams in the university did not lie with the state government. It was a subject that was in the UGC’s purview, which had announced that the final semester examinations would be held in July, he said.
However, for the other semesters, he said that he will request the university and college authorities to take the students’ concerns into the account and delay the exams.
While speaking about the issue of private schools charging fees for the lockdown period, the Chief Minister said that the state government will go in appeal against the High Court ruling on this count. He also expressed the hope that the court would understand the concern and pass a favourable ruling in the interest of the parents and the students.
