Chandigarh, June 13

The Haryana government has ordered that all terminal examinations of final semesters, for higher and technical education courses, will be conducted from July 1 to 31 in conventional mode and the results will be declared by August 7.

For the students from outside Haryana, the average of all previous exams may be taken or they can opt either for taking the exam or improvement of grades later on by physical examination, if they haven't taken any exam earlier.

During examination, hostels will not be opened for students but social distancing norms will be strictly followed.

Principal Secretary Higher Education Ankur Gupta’s order says that for intermediate semester examination all students will be promoted to the next semester with 50 per cent weightage of marks of internal assessment or assignment plus 50 per cent weightage of marks in the previous examinations. However, if a university intends to give examination of such students of campus departments, they may do so. Those students who have academic arrears may be exempted from examination and are to be promoted to the next semester and reappears are to be carried forward.

For first-year students, only the internal assessment may be calculated for promotion to the next year.

For practical exams, average of previous practical exams will be taken or 80 per cent average of theory examinations marks of previous semesters, whichever is higher.

The admissions to university teaching departments will be conducted at individual university level whereas for undergraduate levels and postgraduate levels centralised online admissions for the colleges will be conducted.

Haryana NSUI president Divyanshu Buddhiraja said, “It is because of our protest and campaign from the online petition to the high court that the state government has been forced to promote students.” He said the final-year Haryana students should also have been promoted like the non-Haryana ones.
