Pune, 9th March 2021: Putting a stop to speculations on whether the Savitribai Phule Pune University (SPPU) will conduct exams from March 15 or not, the university has declared that the exams will be held from April 15. A detailed schedule will be declared on March 25.
Earlier the exams were to begin on March 15. However, the university could not appoint an agency to conduct the exam online. Hence, there was a delay.
Today, SPPU’s board of examination met and decided that the exams will be conducted from April 15 and a detailed schedule will be declared on March 25.
SPPU Vice-Chancellor Dr Nitin Karmalkar said that the online exam will be conducted by SPPU Edutech Foundation, a company owned by the university. The 50:20 formula has been abolished and examinations for all courses and all years will be conducted with 50 marks in MCQ system.
Kamalakar Shete, Vice President of Yukrand Pune City, appealed to the SPPU authorities to declare the detailed schedule as soon as possible and plan the examination properly so that students do not face the same issues as last year.
