Most universities in India have a semester system with exams at the end of each semester, in May-June and November-December. This time, a number of universities have decided to hold exams offline  for the semester ending in May/June 2022. However, with little clarity about housing, exam schedules and hybrid schedules, the decision  met with resistance in most states.

In Maharashtra, confusion over the  final exam format has sparked debate. The Maharashtra  Student  Welfare Association (MSWA) has launched an online campaign to make the assessment format "uniform" after writing to the Chief Minister.“Final year students compete for admission to college and  the job market.

If your judging is  in different formats, the competition will not be fair,” said Vaibhav Edke, President of MSWA. While Savitribai Phule Pune  (SPPU) and Rashtrasanta Tukdoji Maharaj Nagpur University are conducting exams offline, the University of Mumbai  has announced another "combined approach": exams for traditional courses will be online, while those for  professional courses  will be offline.

Also, many autonomous colleges in Mumbai have decided to take final exams offline. “In the vocational courses, the students wrote descriptive answers for 60 out of 100 points in the last two exams.

The only difference is that instead of writing it at home, they show up for exams at their respective universities,” said Vinod Patil, director of the University of Mumbai's Examination and Evaluation Board.

He replied to the students' demand for "uniformity": "There can't be parity anyway, because the courses, curriculum, examination patterns and assessment methods are different at different universities.
