Jamia Millia Islamia cancels final year exams 2020, [ evaluated on basis of dissertation, viva]
Jamia Millia Islamia has decided not to hold offline exams for final year students and has asked its teachers to evaluate on the basis of dissertation or viva, a statement from the varsity said on Tuesday.
The varsity’s Standing Academic Council held a meeting on June 8 regarding the feasibility of holding offline examinations for terminal semester year students in July in view of the prevailing situation due to coronavirus.
The conduct of examination in the offline mode was found to be non-viable as the same may further compromise the well-being of students of the university who are from different states since there is a likelihood of spike in the number of COVID-19 cases, the statement said.
“The varsity has decided not to have a face-to-face exam or open book exam in July or August in Delhi for terminal class students. “The assessment of terminal/final semester/year students of all the programmes or courses of the university for the academic session 2019-2020 (including M.Phil/PhD course work ) shall be done on the basis of online examination or assessment as given by teachers who are also the examiners and can use different modes of evaluation like assignments, dissertation, viva, objective type,” the statement said.
