Students of Government Medical College demand postponement of MBBS first prof. exams

Srinagar: Amid COVID-19 pandemic University of Kashmir has published datesheet for conducting offline examination for MBBS students, Ist Prof. at Government Medical College

Speaking with Kashmir Today a group of students told “Due to COVID-19 pandemic whole country suffering and University has published datesheet on 8th july even though well aware of the fact that After abrogation of Article 370 we have attended the classwork only for two months thus completed only 10% of our syllabus curriculum. Moreover everywhere in the country all the examinations are being postponed but to our astonishment University of Kashmir has published an examination datesheet, thereby adding more mental trauma to the Students, already facing tremendous hardship due the pandemic.”

“We don’t understand how come the University has published the datesheet, knowing the fact that many students hail from are from RED ZONE areas. Even if we assume that we all are in a condition to appear for examinations but without public transport being available how come students will reach the examination venues? What about Social Distancing? How will be the invigilator be visiting each and every desk of the student appearing in the examination? What if someone infected will be presented there? All these thoughts scare us”

Keeping in mind the scenario of COVID-19 pandemic, Students requested University Administration and Higher Authorities to look into the matter and postpone the examination.
