New Delhi: Odisha apprised the Supreme Court on its stand in the UGC hearing on Tuesday that the UGC directive to hold final year exams is not implementable.

Advocate General for Odisha, Ashok Parija, argued that sanctity of exams has been compromised as far as final semester exams are concerned and his stand is similar to that of Arvind Datar.

Odisha AG refers to the affidavit filed before the Supreme Court that highlights — technological inaccessibility and disparity among students for online exams; and the threat of exposure to the virus in case of physical exams.

“It is not practical to implement the guidelines of the UGC. Under the current circumstances, it is impossible for the State to conduct the exam by 30th September,” Parija said.

Recently, School and Mass Education Minister of Odisha, Samir Ranjan Dash highlighted the state’s poor internet connectivity and said that it being a central issue, chief minister had already taken up the matter with the prime minister.
