Students of Cachar College demands for both online & offline mode of TDC Odd Sem exam
Feb. 20: The TDC (CBCS) Odd Semester Final Examinations, 2021 will commence from 5 March in all probability. The examination will be conducted only in offline mode. However, the students of Cachar College, Silchar have raised the demand of conducting the TDC (CBCS) Odd Semester examination in blended mode, that is, in both online and offline mode. It needs mention here that due to the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic and subsequent nationwide lockdown, the TDC Even Semester Exam was conducted by Assam University in blended mode.
On Saturday, the students of Cachar College, Silchar submitted a memorandum to the Vice Chancellor of Assam University through the Principal of the College in this connection. Principal of Cachar College, Dr. SS Nath forwarded the memorandum to the Vice Chancellor for “sympathetic consideration.”
In the memorandum, the students stated that the pandemic situation augmented by COVID-19 is not over yet and as such, conducting the exam in online mode will ensure the safety of both the students and the teachers. They further added that as the Covid vaccine has not yet been administered to the students and the teachers, so it is very difficult to adhere to all COVID-19 protocols and sit for offline examinations.
They further alleged that when the University authorities are considering to conduct the final examination of the PG and other courses conducted in the campus in offline mode, so the same benefit should be provided to the college students also. They appealed to the Vice Chancellor to give the opportunity of appearing in online mode of examination until and unless the students and the teachers are vaccinated.
