IIT-Bombay students have demanded a no-fail policy saying they are struggling with end-semester exams amid a raging pandemic. They say it is unfair to mark them on regular exam practice when not all are on equal grounds in the remote learning environment.   

The Powai institute’s official student media body has posted an article raising many such concerns over exams. “Empathy in letter, but apathy in spirit,” stated the article which is out a week after the institute said it would allow students to take the ongoing end-semester exam at a later date, if he/she or any family member is battling COVID.
