#NoExamsInCovid - a Twitter storm initiated by students’ body NSUI has garnered more than 2 lakh impressions today in last three hours. Congress-affiliated National Students’ Union of India (NSUI) and other students who joined the campaign are demanding postponement of JEE Main, NEET and other such examinations in view of the COVID-19 crisis. The students have also demanded cancellation of third year examinations conducted by varsities with students being promoted based on their previous examinations and internal assessments.
Remaining board exams, the engineering entrance exam JEE Main, the medical entrance test NEET and other tests are scheduled to be held in July as various varsities across the country have announced plans for conducting exams in coming weeks.
“Considering the fact that the coronavirus cases have been rising rapidly in India and the graph doesn't seem to flatter, it would be very unjust for the students to still appear for their examinations,” NSUI said in a statement released after #NoExamsInCovid garnered support.
“WHO warns world once again about the drastic increase of Covid cases and India also faces the same, isn't the decision of conduction of exams completely in human and unsympathetic! Who will be responsible if students get affected during examination?, ” the students’ body asked in a tweet.
