Students who are appearing for the exams are from Third Year Bachelor of Arts, Third Year Bachelor of Fine Arts, Third Year Bachelor of Business Management Studies, Third Year Bachelor of Mass Media, Masters in Arts, Masters in Commerce and Masters in Science streams.u00a0
The re-exams will be held after the completion of their respective exams, but only after ascertaining why they were absent. It was also decided in the meeting that the University will appoint a joint chief conductor in every exam centre in future.
“Earlier, the entire onus of conducting the exams was on the principal of the college. But with the new addition, every examination centre will have a joint chief conductor from another college, and will remain at the centre for the duration of exams,” said Deo.u00a0
