DW BUREAU HP Technical University has decided to conduct its examinations in the months of October-November this year and it will not promote any B Tech and B Pharma students in the next semester without examination. This was stated by Vice chancellor of the University, Prof SP Bansal during an online meeting with the directors and principals of all private colleges in the state today. The Vice Chancellor instructed them to prepare for conducting offline examinations by setting up examination centers at all colleges and every educational institution in October and November. He said the lockdown was imposed from March on account of Covid-19, by which time most of the classes had completed 70 to 80 percent of the syllabus. After that, the entire course has been taught to the students by putting online classes. Now the technical university will conduct examinations as per the guidelines of the government. He said that although the technical university has started online classes for the next session of the students, it does not mean that the students have been promoted without the previous session examination. He said that soon the technical university will release the schedule of examinations. It will be the responsibility of every institution to conduct the examination, while after that it will be the responsibility of the technical university to send the question papers and answer sheets.
