Panjab University semester exams to begin today
Around 2,50,000 students, including private and USOL candidates, will appear in the Panjab University examinations that will conclude on July 28
The semester examinations at Panjab University (PU) and its affiliated colleges across Chandigarh and Punjab will start on Wednesday.
This will be the first time that the university is conducting the examinations in physical mode since the outbreak of Covid-19 in March 2020. Over the past two years, all semester examinations were held only in online mode due to the pandemic.
Around 2,50,000 students, including private and USOL candidates, will appear in the examinations that will conclude on July 28.
On the first day, around 48,000 students will appear in the morning session and around 6,500 in the evening session.
A senior university official said flying squads will be visiting colleges and PU departments every day to rein in the use of unfair means in exams.
