basic principle of .right to health which is an important facet of right

It is most respectfully submitted that the Revised UGC Guidelines are '
being issued at the time when the entire country i:s at -huge risk of
being exposed to the virus and when there is an exponential growth
in the total number of cases in the country which has already crossed
the tally of 10.38lakh and when the country has reached the stage of
community spread. The Indian Medical Association (IMA) on
18.0.1.2020 inter alia stated that ... "this is now an exponential ,growth.
Every day the number of cases is increasin,g by more than around
30,000. This is really a bad situation for the country. There are so many
factors connected with ·it but overall this is now spreadin,g to rural
areas. This is a bad sign. It now shows a community spread."

t respectfully submitted that it is a settled position of law that right to
life must satisfy the tes~ of reasonable, just and fair procedure. This
Hon'ble Court in plethora of judgements have held in clear and
categorical terms that any restriction on the right to life must be by a
procedure prescribed by "law" and such "law" must be reasonable,
fair and just. It cannot be arbitrary, whimsical or fanciful. The MHA
Notification and the Revised UGC Guidelines are not only arbitrary
but have been issued as an afterthought in complete disregard to the
life, safety and health of the students.
It is further submitted that amid nationwide demand to scrap final
year university exams due to the rising number of coronavirus cases,
the Yuva Sena, which is .the youth wing of the political party Shiv
Sena, on 18.07.2020 filed a similar writ petition before this Hon'ble
' Court, challenging the decision of the University Grants Commission
(UGC) to conduct final year exams.

\S xviii. It is further submitted that amid nationwide demand to scrap
final year university exams due to the rising number of
coronavirus cases, the Yuva Sena, which is the youth wing of
the political party Shiv Sena, on 18.07.2020 filed a similar
writ petition before this Hon'ble Court, challenging the
decision of the University Grants Commission (UGC) to
conduct final year exams.
In these circumstances, the Petitioner had no choice but to
- approach this Hon'ble Court for suitable directions to the
Respondents so that the fundamental rights guaranteed to the
people of this country under the Constitution are not violated.
5. That the Petitioner herein is approaching this Hon'ble .Court
Jmder Article 32 of the Constitution of India, on fnti'Jr alia the
fol~owing grounds:
GROUNDS
A. BECAUSE the Revised UGC Guidelines are in sheer violation of
the fundamental right of life enshrined under Article 21 of th.e
Constitution, which includes within its ambit, Right to Health.

/~: in clear and categorical terms held that Right to Life includes
Right to health.
B. B-ECAUSE the Revised UGC Guidelines are arbitrary, irrational
1,mjust and unfair and is in complete violation of Article 14 of the
Constitution. The said Guidelines fails to take into consideration
the difficulties which will be faced by the students while
appearingjmQ.king arrangements to appear in the examination,
which will entail the students (who have already travelled to
their hometown} to migrate from orte place to atidther,irt order
to attend the examination. This will also involve risk of staying in
shared accommodation as various colleges and hQstels have been
converted into quarantine centers;
C. BECAUSE the Revised UGC Guidelines are in flagrant violation of
the fundamental rights as it fail to take into consideration the
infrastructural disparities. It fails to consider that the conduct of
online examination will indubitably work against the interest of
students whose access to internet is precarious and who do not
have personal computers or laptops in their house, which is
imperative to conduct online examination. Certain cases of
suicide have been reported due to failure of attending online
classes due to lack of proper internet facilities, computer or
laptops.

\~ D. BECAUSE owing to the Covid induced lockdown, a lot of parents
have undergone substantial pay cuts and even lay offs and in
light of the same, it will be extremely difficult for a large section
of the students to pay their examination fee or to bear stay and
travel expenses to the source where . the examination will be
conducted.
E. BECAUSE the issue involved in the present matter is similar tci
the matter of Amit Bath/a v. Central Board of School
Education, 2020 SCC OnLine SC 537, wherein the ·issue
concerning the conduct of examination of Class X and XII of CBSE
and ICSE was involved and this Hon'ble Court vide Order dated
26.06.2020 was pleased to take on record the draft notification
presented by CBSE and ICSE. The notification inter alia provides
for cancellation of examination of classes X and XII, which were
scheduled from 01.07.2020 to 15.07.2020. The notification
presented by CBSE further .provides for an assessment scheme as
suggested by the competent committee of the CB$-E; for
declaration of result for both Class X and XII.
F. BECAUSE while India has already crossed the tally of 10.38 lakh
and while number of states are bringing back lockdown of
various types, the deadline of September 2020 for conduct of
examination is unattainable and if the virus continues to spread,

}g no university I college administration will be in a p.osition to
announce examinations and the students will continue to be in a
limbo about their future.
G. BECAUSE in case the infection does not subside (which seems to
be the real prospect as per the World Health Organization's latest
communication), it would mean that the UGC either extends the
deadline further or universities are forced to conduct online
exams. This will take the students backwards rather than
forward.
H. BECAUSE it is baffling to note that just one semester of
examination will be determinative of the integrity and value of a
degree for which students worked hard for six to ten semesters,
as the case may be and have also appeared for internal
examinations for the sixth or tenth semester. '
I. BECAUSE the UGC is completely mistaken while citing examples
of top-ranking Universities such as MIT, Cambridge in order to
justify its reasoning for conduction of examination during Covid-
19 Pandemic. By doing so, the UGC has totally neglected the .
unprecedented difficulties that our country is facing in times of
pandemic. To say the least, in these testing days, a section of our
society is not able to arrange bread and butter for a day.

Therefore, in view of the current difficulties that our country is

of virtual examination by relying ·on examples of the premier

these· universities· foHow are·!argely accommodative of stud·ent's

J. BECAUSE the direction regarding the compulsory conduct of
examination are being issued while the entire country is
suffering due to extremely emergent situation of health hazard
which is also accompanied by disastrous situation in certain
states like Assam, which is witnessing flood havoc, which makes
it absolutely impossible for the students to appear for
examination.
K. BECAUSE after the issuance of the MHA notification and the
Revised UGC Guidelines several states including Delhi, Tamil
Nadu, Punjab, Maharasthra, Odhisa and West Bengal have
announced cancellation of all upcoming examinations to be
conducted in state universities, both for final year /semester
students. The Government of Delhi stated that the conduct of
examination would be "unfair" as the teaching-leading process
was hampered due to COVID-19. ft has further , in wake of the
increasing cases of GOVID-19. The Government of Tamil Nadu

Constitution, but also the Directive Principles of State Policy
and international covenants to which India is a party.
Similarly, the bare minimum obligations of the State to
ensure the preservation of the ri(Jht to life and health were
enunciated in Paschim Bang a Khet Mazdoor Samity v. State
of. W.B. [Paschim Bang a Khet Mazdoor Samity v. State of
W:B., {1996)4SCC 37]
P. BECAUSE the suggested model of conduction of compulsory
' examination takes the students backwards rather than forward.
It effectively brings in second phase of postponement of
examination, which creates a cloud of uncertainty for thousands
of students. It will serve as a barrier for the students, who had
already received job offers, to join the work force and will also
prevent them to augment their knowledge by going for higher
studies.
Q. BECAUSE the Revised UGC Guidelines will adversely affect the
interest of the students who have received a pre-placement offer
or who have secured post graduate admission in certain
prestigious universities of the world. It can work. as a factor
wliich might lead to loss of jobs, loss ofsecured admission and in
some cases loss ofan academic year.

BENGALURU: In a bid to increase its bed capacity, the state government is
converting college hostels into Covid Care Centres. A hurried decision was
taken on Tuesday, leaving both students and college managements in .a tight
spot Student unions have claimed that students were asked to pick up their
luggage and leave, on short notice. College administrations are· expecting
complete closure of campuses to facilitate turning hostels into quarantine
centres, which not just delays resumption of academic activities l;n,1t also
. spreads a sense of fear among students.

New Delhi: In view of the possibility of expected 48 thousand
corona positive cases in Bhopal, the district administration
started preparing the Maulana Azad National Institute of
Technolo9y (MANIT) the biggest quarantine center of the
state, as per earlierreports.
Moreover, this was also being done due to the possibility of
getting 10,000 active patients at the same time. The order
had been issued by Additional Collector Ashish Vasistha. As
.. per the order issued, all buildings and rooms of MANIT were
supposed to be sanitized and handed over to SDM TT Nagar
Rajesh Shukla. On May 27, 2020, 200-room Hostel Number-
11 was already being handed over to the SDM.
After converting 300 hostel rooms in a quarantine centre, the
management has left thousands of students with outrage and
devastating stage. On the instructions of the district
administration, Director Narendra Singh Raghuwanshi broke
the locks of all the rooms of the hostel and put the belongings
of the students in the warehouse and arranged for a bed to
keep the relatives of the infected patients in the rooms.

~;z Over this, students of MANIT have protested against the
decision by showing their rage on the twitter handle of
the Bhopal Collector Tarun Pithode.
On the condition of anonymity, one of the Engineering
students told Newsdthat he including every studl;!nt is
concerned about all important documents and laptops kept in
the hostel roorris and states that "what will happen if
something is lost or damaged, who will be responsible for
that?"
No assurance has been given by anyone, the student s~id, " All
the hostels are converted into quarantine centre without <;~ny
assurance for the safety of our belonging inside the hostels.
I
All the students had left their rooms on 23th of March as per
the.orderfrontth~ college to vacate the hostels."
The student also said, as the university hostels are mad.e
quarantine centre, the risk has been increased due to which
the Ph.D. and M Tech. students are looking for places outside
the campus on rent to stay in the city.
' When asked about the response from the college
administration, the stud.ent said "Stud.ents have talked to the
administration but they just have one reply that during this
situation we qm't help and the local authorities have taken

over the .college so it's impossible to stop them doing so.
Faculty and college staff are also opposing this step because
they also live inside the campus premises."
In protest against the action of the MANIT administration and
the district administration, the students had sent an e-mail to
the Prime Minister, Raj Bhavan and the President's Office,
complaining and seeking intervention, and also took this to
the twitter but so far no action has been taken in this matter.
."Yet no respons~ from the local authorities has come
regarding the issue and students are demanding that no
hostel room should be taken for the quarantine centre as they
already have departmental buildings and classrooms for the
same", students said.
Newsd tried to reach out to the Registrar of the. MANIT
University to talk on this issue, however, he didn't respond.
The story will be updates as a11d when we hear from him;

Para.8(111)
In case of e(/(JC~tional .Institutions located at places Where the Government
(Ce~jtre/Slate) have impos$(/. restn"c/lons on gathering of Pl.!blic, th$ institl.!tions may
plan-ac;cordingly. -Jncany.case, -tha'above-recommendatlons- slla/rnot-cause any
restrictions on the guidelines/directions
govemmentlcompatent authority.
iss1.1ed by the appropriate
It would be clear irilm above that while UGC vide its guidelines issued. on.
29.04.2020 provide required flexibility to the Universities/Colleges and does not
cause any ·restricnlons ·on the guidelines/directions issued by the appropriate
Govemmentlcom~tent authority, the revised guidelines issued on 6th July temds to
mandate the Educationa.l Institutions across the country for con(!ucting the
~minations by September, 2020, which is surely at variance with the guidelines
issued earlier.
2. With the current trend of rise ·in the COVIIJcases ·since April; 2020 and -the
study done by the world leading Institution, we are not sure whether the situation will
be conducive for the conduct of off line examinations by September in a vast covntry
like India. Besides, by going through the Statisiics of the Governme~t of lndiii! on
digital access across the country, it will not be appropriate to hold on line exams,
which would be discriminatory against a large section of the students, especially
poor and 11;1ral students, who do not have aeeess to the internet;.computers etc.
In such untore:seen, uncertain and challenging situation, when most of the ' .
3.
. Ed!Jcational institutions are being used as Quarantine centres and for other COVtD
purpose along with re5trlr;tions ori the. movement of trains. air planes; .the Cyclone
Ampllan etc, our .State Government, after extensive consultation with the Vice
Chancellors of all. Universities, other stakeholders in the education sectors,
considering the prevailing situation caused by COVID-19 Pandemic and in the
interest of the. Stu <Ients' health, safety & future, Issued an. advisory to all the State
Aided UniversiUes/Colleges oft~ State -of West Bengal read with para 8(iii), page 10
and para 1, page 10 .ofthe guidelines Issued by the UGC dated 29.04.2020.0ur

oun3dvisoiy .has a provision for. hoiding special e~ams after the situation gets
normalised; for such students, who wish to appear in a formal examination instead of
<~llernate evaluation method.
It WQiJid be clear from above that the above advisory is in consonant with the
9\M~IInjls Issue~ by the UGC dated 29.04.2020. Sesides, the provision of
Weighta!le for the performance ·in the previous semesters (Whichare·basea•en·earlier
writt~n e.xamlnat!Ons orily) a~d a due weightage to the internal assessment are in
line with the practices adopted by the select eountries of Asia and: Europe (Kindly
refe; last line Otpara S of the title Background in tlie guidelines for the conduct of
examinations issued enclosed with the latter cfated 8th July of UGC.It may be
mentioned \Jere that the Unlverl!ltieS/Colleges aided by the State pf West EI!Ml91!1
h;~ve already .. acted upon.th.e adv{sory.lssued by .the State Government and it wiU .be
very difficult to undQ. such actions. The students, their parents and other
stakeholders have overwhelmingly appreciated the advisory of the State
Government In fact, we are receiving hundreds of mails from the students, teaching
community raising their .;;oncern of holding or.line/oftline/b!ended form of e~arns as
proposed b.y tha UGC in such prevailing situation. They have requested the State
Government to take up the matter with the Government of India, on priority, for its
reconsideration.
4. In view of what Is stated above, conducting the examinations for the terminal
semester(s)lyear by .30 September 2020 will not only delay the results of such
examinations but also be detrimental to the career and caus<;> financial distress to
many students who are dependent upon securing a job in order to sustain
tl'iemsehies and their families. It will also prevent students from applying for further
hlgller studies or entrance examinations, nationally and internationally. thereby
demoralising them and their families. Several countries such as Japan, England and
Canada have completely restri~d their academic activities during this pandemic.
Besides; States like· Punjab, Maharashtra. Odisha, Tamil Nadu, Rajasthan.
Puducherry have already decided not to conduct the terminal exams, Institutes like
liT Mumbai, Kanpur. Kharagpur and Roorkee have also cancelled their final year

9. That it is relevant to note that the UGC has cited examples
of top-ranking Universities such as MIT, Cambrid15e for
conduction of examination during Covid-19 Pandemic.
However, by doing so, the UGC has totally neglected the
unprecedented difficulties that our country is facing in times
of pandemic. To say the least, in these testing days, a section
of our society is not able to arrange bread and butter for a
.day. Therefore, in view of the current difficulties that our
country is facing, it is quite unrealistic; to justify the reasoning
of conduction of virtual examination by relying on examples
of the premier institutions of the world. In this regard, a copy
of an article published by 'The Print' is. annexed herewith and
marked as "Annexure F".
10. It is further most humbly submitted that the execution of
the Revised Guidelines, in the current scenario of pandemic,
will be in gross violation of the fundamental rights enshrined
under Article 14 (right to equality) and Article 21 (Right to
life and personal liberty) of the Constitution of India.

Order dated 29.06.2020, various states like Uttar Pradesh, I''''
Mar;lhya Pradesh, Assam and Maharashtra have declared ~i\ . I
complete lockdown, owing to the constant rise in the Covid- !if
19 cases. Therefore, it is ·most humbly submitted that in view
of the present situation, it is absolutely unfair to prescribe
deadline (30.09.2020) for compulsory conduction of
.examination by totally neglecting the health, safety and most
importantly the life of the students.
In view of the aforesaid, it is most humbly prayed:

keep the Revised Guidelines issued by the UGC dated

Press Release No.490 Date: 11.07,w'O
PRfSS B!i!.EASE
'oear Shrl Ramesh Pokhrlyal 'Nishank' ji,
I bring to your kind notice that Covld-19 pandemic Is showing a . surge .In various parts of the count!'¥ including. Tamil Nad.u. My Government has .been taking all required measures to contain the spread of disease, as well as to provide comprehensive treatment to the infec;ted people. Though the efforts of the Government has borne good results, any minor let up may still pose a challenge to the State.
Du.e to tne progressive policies of the State Government, Tamil Nadu has the highest Gross Enrollment Ratio of 49% among the States, resulting in large number of students studying in various Universities, Colleges and Polytechnics. Though we had scheduled their semester examinations In April 2020, these examinations could not be conducted as scheduled because of Covid-19 pandemic.
The .UGC on 29.4.2020, had issued guidelines which gave the flexibility to the Universities and Colleges tor the conduct of examinations, without any restrictions on the guidefines I directions Issued by the appropriate Governrrtent I Corrtpetent Authority. The new guidelines
which were issued on 6.7.2020, mandated that ail the Educational Institutions across the country shall conduct examinations by September 2020 for the final semester students .
I would like to bring to your notice that the new guidelines has many constraints and difficulties which Include the students reaching the Examinati.on Centres, as many of them are residing outside the district,
OLJtside the State and some even outside the country. It Is also not feasible to conduct online examinations, considering the various issues relati!JQ to digital access to the students. Moreover, most of the Govern!Tl.ent and ,prJvate Arts & Science and Engineering Colleges, Polytechnics and. otl)er Institutions of Higher learning (Including the nc>stels, classroorris.etc.,) in the State have been converted as Covid Care Centres for housing asymptomatic positive persons under quarantine and these centres may continue as Covid centres for some more time.

Therefore, if we are nqt in a position to conduct examinations even after waiting till September 2020, it would jeopardise the future of the students who are in their .Final year 1 Semester. Moreover, it will also 1.mnecessari\y affect the future of the students who were recruited through campus selections and the students who have applied for courses abroad, who may have to join in the month of October 2020, after the ban on lntern.atlonal travel Is lifted.
Many States il'l ... ~he country h<;~ve taken a oecision not to condl.lct the final semester examinations. In orderto ensure career opportunities, future prospects and to simultaneously safegvard the principles of health, safety, fair and equal opportunity for students, the States may b~ given the freedom to work out its own i!SSessment compromising on the quality and academic credibility.

. In the above context, I request you to direct the respective Apex authorities like University Grants Commission (UGC), All India Council. for Technical Education (AlCTE), Council of Architecture (COA), Pharmacy Council of India (PC!), National Council of Teachers Education (NCTE) and National Council for Hotel Management and Catering Technology to endorse the decisions of the respective State Governments, which would be based on the local prevailing COVID 19 conditions. This would go a long way in rendering justice and fairness to the parents and the students, dvring these distressful times.

'9:9) The Delhi government Saturday cancelled all upcoming
examinations to be conducted in state universities, both for
final and intermediate year/semester students, ar~ing it
would be "unfair" to hold exams as the teaching~Iearning
process was "hampered" due to Covid.
Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia said state universities
have been asked to come up with "a set of parameters for ·
evaluation on the basis· of the students' past performance"
and award them degrees.
Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal also wrote to Prime Minister
Narendra Modi Saturday, suggesting that exams in central
universities be scrapped and students be evaluated on the
basis of internal assessment and previous marks. The
University Grants Commission (UGC), in its revised guidelines
datep July 6, had decided against recommending scrapping of
exams, · instead asking universities to conduct them by
Se_ptember-end.
· "Students, teachers and parents are angered by this decision
and believe it should be rolled back. Reputed institutions
such as !IT and NLU have already given degrees to students
in the final year based on internal assessments. Why

shouldn't others also do it? Across universities in the world,
the same format is being followed," Kejriwal wrote.
He also pointed out that Delhi had decided to cancel exams
but a similar decision for Central universities such as Delhi
University will have to be taken by the Centre.
"The MHRD and UGC are not ready to change their decision in
the matter. It seems only your intervention can solve this
_problem. It is my·xequest to you that keeping in mind the
overall well being of students, the government and UGC
amend the guidelines, cancel exams for final semester
students, and save the future of our students," the CM wrote.
Sisodia, meanwhile, explained the rationale behind cancelling
exams in state universities.
"It is unfair to conduct examinations for students amid
the p~ndemic, which has already hampered their learning in
the absence of regular classes, pr:acticals and lab work. It is
also unfair to withhold their degrees now, without which
they cannot start their professional journey," Sisodia said in a
web cast.
Arguing it would be difficult to conduct examinations for the
semester, he said, "July is the most important month for

Brigadier Pradeep Upmanyu, Joint Registrar at Guru Gobind
Singh Indraprastha University, said, "We had not conducted
any exam$ till now. We are still waiting for more detailed
guidelines from the government after which we will discuss
and deliberate on.what is to be done."
Delhi Technological University PRO Anoop. Lather said, "As
far as the fourth year or final year exams are concerned, we
have already conducted our exams. These exams were held .
_online. For the rest, exams were scheduled to begin on July
20. We will now discuss and reconsider it."
However, the decision will not affect universities like
Ambedkar University Delhi, which has already conducted
evaluation for all students. "We have an innovative method· of
continuous assessment which came in handy during these
times. As our online teaching-learning process went off
smoothly, we were also able to evaluate students and declare
results earlier," Vice-Chancellor Anu Singh Lather said.

'Promote students, exams risky'
TNN I Apr 19, 2020, 01.25 PM IST
BHOPAL: Professors have demanded general promotion for
co-liege students in Madhya Pradesh on the gro-und that it is
dangerous to ask students to appear in exams as it can puts
them at risk for Covid•19. Stating that universities are
planning to conduct exams after lockdown ends, the
professors called it a wrong step. Professors said they will
refuse to take exams if they are asked to do so.

Prof Kailash Tyagi, said there is an urgent need of general
promotion -for the students. '~If general promotion is given to
school students citing the reason that it won't be possible to
conduct exam, the same applies to the college students also,"
said Prof Tyagi.
He added that the professors' biggest concern is the fact that
students will have to sit in a classroom for the examinations.
Sources said the management of Barkatullah University has
,now proceeded to prepare for the examinations. BU has
proposed to conduct these exams from May 28 to June 28.
University Registrar B Bharti said that the final decision is in
the hands of the government, but the university is completely
prepared for the exams. Notably, around 1.25 lakh students
are studying in colleges affiliated to BU.
Registrar Bharti opined that this time, the academic calendar
should be extended by two more months.
On the contrary, professors felt that if universities decide to
organise exams, they may not attend. A senior professor, who
did not wish to be named, said, "This is a sensitive situation. I
will not put my life in danger by invigilating in the exams."

differently for residr;mtial and non-residential students as the
risk is higher for the latter.
"Higher education (institutes) should address the following
concerns - preparation of risk-assessment and subsequent
actions which varies, whether the institution is fully
residential, partially residential or non-residentiaL The
higher risk and bigger challenge is faced by institutions that

Community spread has started and the situation is bad, observes IMA ANI\ Updated: Jli\18, 2020 18:05 1ST
New Delhi [India], July 18 (ANI): With one million people getting affected by
COVID-19 (/topic/covld-19), the Indian Medical Association (IMA (ltopic/lma)) is
of the view that community spread has started and the situation is pretty bad.
While speaking to ANI, Dr V K Monga, the Chairman of IMA (ltopic/ima) Hospital
BoiHd ofHidia said, 'This is now an exponential groWth. Every cay the number of
cases is increasing by more than around 30,000. This is really a bad situation for
the country. There are so many factors connected with it but overall this is now

s.preading to rur.al are.as. This is a.bad sign. It now shows .a community spread."
According to ·the ·latest·update ·by ttre ·Union Health ·Ministry (!topic/health,
ministry), the total confirmed cases reached 10,38,71 6. There are 3,58,629 active
cases and 6,53,751 cured/discharged/migrated. A total of 26,273 deaths have
been registered to date .
Dr Monga further said, 'Cases are penetrating oown into towns· and villages
where it will be very difficult to control the situation. In Delhi, we were able to·
contain it, but what ~;~bout interior parts of the country in Maharashtra, Karnataka,
Kerala, Goa, Madhya Pradesh (which may be the. new hotspots)?'
"All these issues are very important and the state governments should take full
care and seek hel_p of the Central government to control the situation." Monga
saio.
As many as 1;34,33,742 samples have been tested for COVID-19 (/topic/covid-
1 9) till July 17. Of these 3,61,024 samples were tested on Friday, Indian Council
of Medical Research (ICMR} said.
ICMR Is ramping-up-testing f~cilities regular.ly .. At present, ass. government
laboratories and 368 private laboratory chains are conducting COVID-19 ' (/topic/covid·19) tests across the country.
"This is a viral disease that spreads very fast. To contain the disease there are
only two options. Firstly, 70 per cent population contracts the disease and gets
immune, and other is getting an immunisation (/topic/immunisation)." stated
l';lr;>ng?,
Vaccination, being the greatest hope to contain COVID-1 9 (/topic/covid·1 9),
India's two Indigenous vaccine makers would be starting human trials soon.
"There has to be phases of trials then human trial, then efficacy and side effects.
Also, importantly It has to be seen how long_ this immunity will last because most
of the patients are unable to go beyond three months of immunity." said Dr
Monga. (ANI)

oftlin~ or online. me.di.l.tm.. lt is p.ertinent to note. that a. lot. of
students have migrated to their ·home towns and will have to
travel to the source where the examination will be conducted
which will expose them t{) a lot Gf risk. This will also involve risk
of staying in .shared accommodation · as various colleges and
hostels have been converted into quarantine centres. Further,
the online mode of conduction of examination· fails to consider
the infrastructural disparities, which will work against several
students who do not have access to internet, laptops or
computers, which is paramount for conduct of online
examination.
4. It is most respectfully submitted that in view of the COVID
induced lockdown, a lot of parents have undergone substantial
pay cuts and even lay offs and in light of the same, it will be
extremely difficult for a large section of the students to pay their
examination fee nr to bear stay and travel expenses to the soun:;e
where the examination will be conducted.
5. It is most respectfully submitted that India has.already crossed
the tally of 10.38 lakh and while number of states are bringing
back lockdown of various types, the deadline of September 2020
for conduct of examination is unattainable and if the virus
continues to spread, no university I college administration will be

continue to be in a limbo about their future.
6. Lt is most respectfully submitted that the suggested model of
oonduction of compulsory examination takes the :;tudents
backwards rather than forward. It effectively brings in second
phase of postponement of examination, which creates a cloud of
uncertainty for the . states like Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan,
Chattisgarh, Punjab and West Bengal, which already decided to
cancel examination.
7. It is most humbly submitted that the Revised Guidelines not.oniy
provides for a model which is extremely dangerous for the lives
of thousands of attendees (students· of final-year/semester
cohorts) but at the same time it is extremely dangerous for the
Professor's who will be invigilating the exams.
8.. It is. most respectfully: submitted that after the issuance of the
MHA notification and the Revised UGC Guidelines several states
including Delhi, Tamil Nadu, Punjab, Maharasthra, Odisha and
West Bengal have announced cancellation of all upcoming .
examinations to be conducted in state universities, both for final
year/semester students. The Government of Delhi stated that the
