Chandigarh, October 8

The management of Punjab Engineering College (PEC) will meet student representatives tomorrow for discussing the issues regarding conducting practical and end-terms exams on the campus.

Earlier, the institute officials had decided to conduct physical exams for BTech (semester III, semester V, semester VII) from November 2 to December 5. However, after students objected to the decision, the management decided to meet their representatives. “Students have expressed their concerns and we are ready to address those. We are meeting on Friday to take a decision,” said Prof Dheeraj Sanghi, Director, PEC.

“Students living in other countries have already been informed that their exams will be taken care of. We had earlier decided to call students living in India to the college for exams, but they have their own reasons. We have to wait for the meeting’s outcome before finalising anything,” added Sanghi.

It was decided to call students to the campus in small batches in different time slots. “We have to find a solution acceptable to all. There are certain places where the Covid-19 situation is still bad. The management should understand accordingly,” said one of the students.
