The University Grants Commission(UGC) on Wednesday, April 29, said that college sessions will begin in August for current students and September for new ones. The admission process for the fresh batch of students will also be conducted in August. In the wake of the ongoing lockdown due to the coronavirus pandemic, the 2020-21 academic session for students entering higher education this year will be delayed by one-and-a-half months.
The commission further said that the exams for final semester students will be conducted in July. However, universities and colleges are free to conduct their examination in either offline or online mode and reduce the time from three to two hours. The universities can also make changes to the suggested academic calender.
"Intermediate students will be graded based on internal assessment of the present and previous semester. In states where the COVID-19 situation has normalised, there will be exams in the month of July. For terminal semester students, exams will be held in July," the UGC said.
