Odisha government on Wednesday (Dec 15) ordered to conduct exams for all Under Graduate (UG) and Post Graduate (PG) students in the state in the offline mode. However, citing the rise in cases of the new Covid-19 variant ‘Omicron’ in the country, several students reportedly opposed the decision while seeking the option of having online exams.
On the other hand, some students and teachers have welcomed the decision, citing that the offline exams would help in fair evaluation. The state government’s decision would help in avoiding malpractices such as cheating during examinations, they added.
