In the wake of Coronavirus crisis, CM Shivraj Singh Chouhan on Monday announced general promotion for all university and college students in both higher education and technical education.
Final-year UG and PG students will be deemed to have graduated on the basis of the highest score they obtained in previous exams. Those who want to improve their score can opt for an offline test later on, the CM said.
Chouhan took the decision at a review meeting on Monday evening. A decision on reopening of schools will be taken on July 31, he said.
Officials of both higher education and technical education departments refused to elaborate on the announcement, saying guidelines will be issued in a couple of days. There are 17.77 lakh examinees at the undergraduate and postgraduate levels in the current academic session.
