The Punjab Engineering College (PEC) Senate approved the rescheduling of dates for conducting practical examinations and for evaluating the even-semester marks on the basis of the past performance of students, said Director Prof Dheeraj Sanghi here today.

The Senate also approved conducting the exams after Diwali. The exams will span over seven to eight weeks instead of the usual three to four weeks. The new date sheet will be announced later by the Dean Students Welfare. It has also been approved that the students will not be forced to take the exams, considering the ongoing situation.

“We have decided conducting exams in small batches and for a longer duration,” said Sanghi, Director, PEC.

The SOPs will be released later according to the situation. “Accepting the demands of student representatives, we have agreed upon evaluating the students of second and fourth semesters on the basis of their past performance. It has been further decided that the top 95 per cent will get through to the next semester, while the remaining five per cent will have to appear for the physical examinations,” added Sanghi. — TNS
