    Proposed Academic Calendar by UGC

    The University Grants Commission or UGC, the higher education


    regulator, has today released the annual examination details and a
    new academic calendar for the universities and colleges which are
    shut due to the coronavirus lockdown. The commission said the
    intermediate semester students will be graded based on internal
    assessment of the present and previous semester while the exams for
    the terminal semester students will be held in the month of July. For
    intermediate semester students in the states where the COVID-19
    situation has normalized, there will be exams in the month of
    July. According to the guidelines released today, college sessions will
    begin in August for current students and September for new ones.
    Schools and colleges have been closed across the country since last
    month amid the coronavirus pandemic.

    Regarding the pending examinations, the Commission has also said


    the universities may adopt alternative and simplified modes and
    methods of examinations to complete the process in shorter period of
    time.

    It also said the universities may adopt efficient and innovative modes
    of examinations by reducing the time from 3 hours to 2 hours.

    "Universities may conduct Terminal / Intermediate Semester / Year


    examinations in offline / online mode, as per their Ordinances/Rules
    and Regulations, Scheme of Examinations, observing the guidelines of
    "social distancing" and keeping in view the support system available
    with them and ensuring fair opportunity to all students," it added.

    The Commission has allowed extension of six months period to the


    M.Phil. or Ph.D. students and told the universities that they may
    conduct the Ph.D. and M. Phil. Viva -Voce examinations through video
    conferencing using Google, Skype, Microsoft Technologies or any
    other reliable and mutually convenient technology.

    According to the guidelines, universities may follow a 6-day week


    pattern and the Commission added in view of present scenario and
    future uncertainties they may adopt or adapt and implement the
    proposed guidelines in a transparent manner by making alterations or
