NSUI Demands Cancellation of University Final Exams and Promotion of Students

Udupi: In view of the growing coronavirus cases across the state, NSUI Udupi district has demanded the cancellation of Final year University examinations and promotion for all the students.

In a press release issued by Christan D’Almeida president of NSUI, Udupi district, it has been stated that, since the coronavirus positive cases have been rapidly increasing, any exams during this Crisis will be unfair for the student community be it online or offline. The Govt. needs to understand the ground reality and the struggle of young India. 

He appealed to the authorities to listen to the voices of millions of students of the country and help them without forcing them to sit for the exams during these trying circumstances.

In Karnataka, no assembly proceedings are going on, Theatres are also closed, wedding functions are held with limited guests, no mass gatherings, but the government wants innocent students to answer the exams? That’s so unfair.

All Political activities are shut across the state as well as the country, all the offices are not working with full strength, and UGC wants to experiment on the lives of students.

As we welcome the state Govt’s decision of promoting 1st, 2nd and 3rd-year degree students, we also demand the government to promote the final year students based on past performance with 10% extra marks since it is observed that students improve their performance in the final year.

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Friday has also demanded the cancellation of university exams during this coronavirus pandemic and urged the UGC to promote students on the basis of past performances.

As per the call by the NSUI and Congress party, Udupi District unit had also started #SpeakUpForStudents social media campaign where thousands of students of the district showed their support in cancelling the final year examinations.

The National Students Union of India (NSUI) has demanded 10% extra marks for the final year students because it is generally observed that the students usually improved their marks in the final year. Due to the outbreak of the coronavirus, every sector is negatively affected, including the students. The university should promote the students this year, he demanded.
