Bhubaneswar: Union Minister Pratap Chandra Sarangi has requested Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik to adopt a uniform schedule for students of Odisha like other states for study.

“A uniform schedule may be adopted across the states in consultation with the Ministry of Human Resources Development, Government of India so that the students of our State avail the same opportunities for study in the country as much as the students of other states,” he wrote in the letter to the CM.

Sarangi said that parents of the students, who have appeared for annual Matriculation, Plus II and Graduation, are anxious to know about the steps being contemplated by the government regarding their unfinished examination and evaluation following the COVID-19 outbreak and nationwide lockdown.

“This is the period during which the results of Matriculation, Higher Secondary and Graduation examinations usually come out. But due to the outbreak of Coronavirus and subsequent nationwide lockdown, the examination schedules have been disrupted. Matriculation examination in Odisha has been over, but papers have not been evaluated and similarly, other examinations in our colleges/universities have not begun as yet. All these have cascading impact on the state level and also All India level entrance examinations for professional courses,” the Minister said.
Sarangi urged Naveen to instruct the authorities to clear the misgivings about the examinations or evaluation schedule.
With the need for maintaining social distancing, the government has to come out with the future course of action as the online system is to be resorted to, he added.
