Talking to BSS, DU former vice-chancellor Prof AAMS Arefin Siddique suggested taking examinations as soon as possible of those departments which have already finished classes and other academic activities to minimize academic losses. Online ClassProf Arefin, also a communication expert, said the university must ensure everyone’s equal access to internet facilities in taking classes online and the authorities should do that. “It is not true that taking exams is not possible online as everything is going on in virtual platforms nowadays,” he added. The university should consider taking exams of at least final year and master’s students immediately maintaining all the health measures that could be a solution to reduce session congestion, he added. Online classes for one semester are about to be completed and for another semester classes will start soon though we could not take the examinations.
