All exams being taken in December 2020 will be postponed and new dates will be announced later. It is expected that this year students will not be promoted without exams. It is possible that universities could conduct online exams.

 

The Sindh Government stance is that this year students will not be promoted without exams. Saeed Ghani, the provincial education minister gave a suggestion to the federal government that this time students would not be promoted without exams.

 

Here this be noted that many universities are conducting BA B.Sc MA M.Sc exams. These exams have already been much delayed due to COVID-19. So what will be the strategy of the universities? Whether they will delay the exams for some more time or conduct the exams online. No decisions have been made by the universities yet.

 

The students are much confused and tensed. This is possibility that their academic year will go waste if they do not appear in the exams now. It is hoped that all educational ministers and universities will ponder over it and will do something for the students.
