KOLHAPUR: The Shivaji University Kolhapur (SUK) will conduct the summer session exams for degree and diploma courses from August 10.
After deferring the exams for around six months due to the Covid pandemic, the university completed its winter session tests a few days ago. The university had asked all affiliated colleges of all the three districts — Kolhapur, Sangli and Satara — to begin the academic session online. Also, the syllabus will remain crunched for the coming semester exam as well.
Gajanan Palase, chief controller of exams SUK, said, “Unlike earlier semester exams, the coming summer session exam will be only through online mode. The students will not have any choice of manual mode as Covid continues to ravage these three districts. We have asked the colleges to complete the practical exams in the last week of June. Around 2.5 lakh students are eligible and therefore we have to meticulously plan the dates for the exam for each subject to ensure the students do not miss out. We are planning to complete the exams for all courses within a month.”
Each exam will be for 50 marks comprising 25 questions for 2 marks each. The exams for professional courses will be held in clusters meaning few colleges will be selected at a time for the exam.
