Mangaluru, August 14, 2020: As per the directive of the state government and UGC,  the final semester examination of undergraduate and  post graduate courses will be held  from September 16 to 30, informed Mangalore University Vice Chancellor Prof P S Yadapadittaya.

Addressing a press meet on Thursday, he said in view of the Covid-19 pandemic and considering the future of final semester students only final semester exams will be held. The students of other semesters will be promoted to the next semester on the basis of their marks and other yardsticks.

Those students who have to clear backlog exams  after failing in previous semesters can also appear for the exams. Students who have not paid  the exam fees  or have not registered for the exams should contact the Principals  before August 17, he added.

As the University hostel has been converted into Covid care centre  and as students from other districts will be arriving for the exams  14 days ahead as  per the government’s Covid guidelines, the administration will be requested to  let the hostel for University use, he said.

Students who are Covid positive will be allowed to write exams in a separate room, he added.

The Vice chancellor said efforts would be made to allow students from far off states like Bhutan and Meghalaya to appear for exams in their respective states after  entering into an agreement with the universities of those states.

He said students can appear for the exams even without exam fee  and can pay the same when availing their marks card. However they should have the required attendance, he added.
