Supreme Court's Decision on UGC Guidelines for Examination 2020

The Supreme Court's Decision (Date- 28 Aug 2020): 

(1) The   prayer   to   quash   the revised   guidelines dated 06.07.2020 issued by the University Grants

Commission and OM dated 06.07.2020 issued by the Ministry of Human Resource Development and letter

dated 06.07.2020 issued by the Ministry of Home Affairs is refused.

(2) The   decision   taken   by   the   State   Disaster Management   Authority/State   not   to   hold   final

year/terminal semester examination by 30.09.2020 in   exercise   of   power   under   Disaster   Management Act,   2005   shall   prevail   over   deadline   fixed   by the University Grants Commission i.e. 30.09.2020 in respect to the concerned State.

(3)   The   decision   of   the   State/State   Disaster Management Authority to promote the students in

the final year/terminal semester on the basis of previous   performance and   internal   assessment

being   beyond   the   jurisdiction   of Disaster Management   Act,   2005   has   to   give   way   to   the guidelines of UGC dated 06.07.2020 directing to hold examination of final year/terminal semester.

The   State   and   University   cannot  promote   the students   in   the   final  year/terminal   semester without holding final year/terminal examination. 

(4) If any State/Union Territory in exercise of jurisdiction under Disaster Management Act, 2005 has taken a decision that it is not possible to

conduct   the   final   year/terminal  semester examination   by 30.09.2020,  we   grant   liberty   to such State/Union Territory to make an application to the University Grants Commission for extending deadline of   30.09.2020   for   that   State/Union Territory   which   shall   be considered   by   UGC   and rescheduled   date   be communicated to   such State/Union Territory at the earliest.

UGC guidelines on Final Year/Semester Exam 2020

Supreme Court's verdict would be announced on 28 Aug on UGC Exam Guidelines and whether final year/semester university exams 2020 should be cancelled or not.

 The court had  reserved its verdict on August 18 and had given all the parties three days time to present their final arguments. The Supreme Court would decide on whether the final year degree examinations should be held before September 30.

Many students, parents and teachers had urged that the exams be cancelled and the results of the students be calculated on the basis of their internal assessment or past performance.

This whole issue is nothing but a mischief of the State Governments, especially in non-NDA ruled states. The universities which are opposing the UGC guidelines are mainly in these non -NDA rules states. 

UGC had only said that the universities must conduct the exams, whether online or office. Because the top universities of the world were also conducting the final exams. UGC did not stop the universities to include previous performance, internal assessment, projects etc from being used to assess in the final exam. UGC had hinted that the final exam is only a formality and just do anything. Do formality and assess the students in any way and declare the result as if they were really the Final Exam Results as they were being declared in the previous years. 

But the universities in the non-NDA states made a mountain out of a molehill; and took the matter to the court.

Now, who is suffering? Only the students.
