Telangana
State Council of Higher Education has decided that no student enrolled in the first
or second year of the degree program will be detained. The students were
informed about the decision through Osmania University’s official website.
Lockdown due
to COVID-19 breakout is making it impossible to conduct the exams. Therefore,
Telangana state decided to promote students of first-year and second-year to
the next year. Students, however, will be required to clear their backlogs next
year.
The council
also said that a 50 percent credit rule will not be applicable this year. This
is a one-time exception for the students of the current academic year. Telangana State Council of Higher
Education (TSCHE) Chairman, Professor T Papi Reddy said “even though degree
examinations will be conducted, no student in the first or second year will be
detained. Third-year students, he said that they would need to clear all
examinations to obtain their degree.”
All colleges
and universities in the nation have taken the path of e-learning amid the
coronavirus breakout. Osmania University has instructed its faculty members to
complete the remaining syllabus by the end of April with the help of online
tools.
