Postpone All Offline Exams Scheduled In May: Govt

New Delhi: The Union Ministry of Education has advised all offline examinations scheduled in the month of May, 2021, to be postponed.

Secretary, Higher Education, Amit Khare has written a letter addressed to the heads of centrally funded institutions urging the institutions to postpone all scheduled offline examinations this month considering the alarming rise in coronavirus cases in the country amid the deadly second wave.

Online examinations may, however, continue.

He added that the postponement decision will be reviewed in the first week of June.
