Srinagar: The University of Kashmir is likely to give syllabus relaxation to the final year undergraduate students after it gets feedback from the college heads that the students could not complete their syllabus to the unrest. A senior university official said they were thinking about giving some relaxation in the syllabus to the students as they had asked the college heads for feedback on the issue after which they would take a call.“The university is thinking about giving syllabus relaxation to the students of the final year. We have asked the college heads to give us details about how much syllabus the students have covered in various colleges. The decision will be taken after getting feedback from the colleges,” said the official who did not wish to be named.The date sheet for the final year exams of undergraduate courses was notified by the university on December 24.
The exams are scheduled to start on January 10 and will complete in the first week of February. Students of BSc, BA final year who protested in Srinagar said they had lost five months in the unrest and the syllabus should be curtailed.“We have attended the college for two months and have completed only 20 per cent of our syllabus. Even if we do self-study and prepare from the e-tutorials it won’t be possible to complete the whole syllabus. We appeal to the authorities to look into our difficulties and do justice,” said a student of BSc final year.The protesting student said they had not been given much time between the papers and the data sheet should be reviewed so that they could prepare fully.The university official said that they would look into the students’ demand for breaks between various papers.“The students should approach us if there is any problem,” said the official.To compensate for the losses suffered due to the unrest, the university has also canceled the winter break this year.
