According to Sahoo, several state governments had cancelled examinations last year due to Covid-19 pandemic. Later, examinations were conducted following Supreme Court's directions.
The Covid-19 induced lockdown was clamped in March last year but this time the lockdown was enforced in Odisha in May.
“At present, online classes are being conducted in the State. The Vice-Chancellors have informed that despite the delay, all courses are likely to be completed by June,” Sahoo added.
