“Now even leading IITs and engineering colleges have decided to promote M.Tech students as per UGC guidelines but we are still waiting for an official announcement,” he said.
The students appealed authorities to take them at par with Post Graduate students and whatever decision has been taken must be announced officially.
They said that some officials have informed them that the authorities have decided to conduct online examinations of 35 marks, viva 25 marks and 40 marks will be given to internal examination. They said they were presently attending online classes of 3rd semester as per the directions of authorities but at the time if they will be asked to prepare for second semester examination, it will cause great stress for all the students.
