On Tuesday, a meeting was called by the SPPU’s board of examinations at which the decision was taken to postpone the exams from March 15 to the new date.

“For students from first to last year, all course exams will be conducted for 50 marks with multiple-choice questions (MCQ) in online mode. The university’s own SPPU Edutech Foundation will conduct this exam,” said SPPU vic-chancellor Prof Nitin Karmalkar.

Today’s meeting went on for more than two hours and various important issues were discussed.

A letter from the SPPU Edutech Foundation expressing their willingness to conduct the exam was shown at the meeting.

“From April 11, the exams will start and it will take at least 50 days to complete. In between there are several public holidays so the duration may be extended. There are 5,500 subjects and 6.25 lakh students are expected to appear for. So far, 5.84 lakh students have filled up the online examination forms for the exams,” said Prof Karmalkar.
