IIT-Delhi students raise concerns regarding hybrid mode of exams

Some students at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) in Delhi claimed that the government’s decision to conduct examinations in a mixed format did not provide a level playing field. However, institute officials refuted the allegation, saying that no matter whether the student is at home or on campus, an exam will be taken and there is no room for prejudice. The students stated that students returning to school must report to the department and take the exam in a classroom environment, while students who have not yet returned to school can choose to take the online exam, which will cause “inconsistency.”

“Not everyone took the test, which means that there are still quite a few people who will still take the test comfortably at home. We can’t have this reason, because we don’t have 50 students taking JEE at home, and the rest of the students are called Go to the test center. In addition, the test environment is very important, and this difference itself creates unfair inconsistencies,” said an online petition initiated by IIT students, which has more than 650 signatures. “We received notices from offline professionals in a short period of time.

At that time, most people either got off the bus or booked tickets to go home. We don’t understand why the college did not plan this earlier, and why the school leavers were required to do so in a short time. How fair is it to book expensive tickets, travel from all over India, and then board the plane again when they are actually preparing for the exam.

This, especially when people who have not joined will not do the same thing,” it added Say. Dean of Scholar Shantanu Roy said, “There is no room for prejudice. As long as students are on campus, I don’t think there is a problem reporting to the classroom and appearing in the exam. The exam is the same for them and it is unfair to appear in the classroom environment. of.”
