Plea re UGC Guidelines, seeking Exams to be conducted online amid COVID-19: LIVE UPDATES from Karnataka HC [Day 2]

The Karnataka High Court is hearing a petition which concerns the UGC's directive mandating the conduct of final year examinations by September end this year. The Petitioners are final-year engineering undergraduates at the Bangalore Institute of Technology.

Yesterday, the Bench had asked the VTU to respond on why exams cannot be conducted online, given that vivas have already been done online and since the July 6 UGC guidelines also allow the conduct of online exams.
