After his letter to the Prime Minister for postponing medical students' final year post-graduation examination in view of the Coronavirus outbreak became public, CM Uddhav Thackeray has appealed Narendra Modi to instruct apex regulatory bodies to approve of Maharashtra government's proposal of cancelling final year/semester examinations of all professional courses.

Last week, the state gave the final year students of professional and non-professional courses the option to write examinations whenever it was held or take a degree based on a formula to be decided by universities.
