On one hand some students have already appeared in the December 2020 Examination but some are still pending, which is resulting in the mis-matching of semester, syllabus coverage as well as it is also causing inconvenience among students.

Taking to social media, several students across various states are expressing their concerns, requesting the colleges to conduct online exams. In order to safeguard the larger interest of the students, he requested the VC, IKGPTU to conduct the pending exams through Online mode so that also the semesters could be streamlined.
It is to mention that as per the notice IKGPTU/Exam-July2020/003 dated 18.12.2020, it was stated that those students who were not able to appear in the December -January examination (conducted from 04.01.2021), they have given option to appear in March 2021 examination.
