Gujarat Cancels College, University Exams

Due to surge in COVID19 cases, Gujarat government has cancelled all college and university exams in the state. “In a major relief for over 9.50 lakh undergraduate college students, CM Shri @vijayrupanibjp decides to grant Merit Based Progression to the 2nd, 4th & 6th semester students, other than medical-para medical courses, of all the Govt and Pvt colleges/universities of the State,” the Gujarat Chief Ministers Office (CMO) said on Twitter. The decision was taken at a core committee meeting chaired by chief minister Vijay Rupani.  The state government had earlier promoted students of classes 9 to 11 without exams.
