Chennai: The offline semester examination for all the colleges would begin after 20 January, said Tamilnadu Higher Education Minister K Ponmudi.
Semester exams for all Tamilnadu college students, including engineering, arts and science colleges and polytechnic students, have been postponed by two months to give more time to students to prepare for offline exams.
The Minister said the government granted two-month time to the students to prepare themselves. He also said that cases registered against the protesting students would be cancelled.
‘The representatives of student organisations wanted offline mode exams. However, they wanted more time to prepare for the exams. They said students have been attending offline classes only for the last two and half months. They have asked for a months’ time to prepare for the exams. We have decided to give them two months’ time,’ Ponmudi said.
