 State universities expect session
to begin in Nov after Puja break
S1 1 M •-
@timesgroup.com
Kolkata: The University
Grants Commission (UGC) is
likely to revise its earlier re-
commendations on starting
the new academic year from
September-October. A panel.
which was sel up by the UGC
and headed by Haryana Uni -
versity vice-chancelJor R C
Kuhad. is revisiting the gui-
delines issued earlier by the
UGC for intermediate and
terminal semester examina-
tions as well. Sources indica-
ted that they would recom-
mend scrapping the terminal
semester exams.
State-run universities in
Bengal, however. are looking
at starting the academic ses-
sion from November due to
the pandemic and al.so con-
templating closure of all
campuses during Durga Puja
in October. Vice-chancellors
are also pointlni at the late
publication of the state's hig-
her se,r-.ondary uamination
results as another reason for
the delay.
