Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) on Tuesday said that it was in the process of finalising the process of conducting examinations either through digital platforms or other means in view of the nationwide lockdown. The university said that it has been trying to devise feasible methods to continue academic activities but it was difficult to have a one-size-fits-all mechanism. Vice-Chancellor M. Jagadesh Kumar said that the university is organising workshops on empowering teaching through online mode to enable the JNU faculty to become familiar with digital platforms. “No matter what the compulsions, teachers cannot accept a purely formal completion of the semester that reduces it to a farce. Teachers also stand ready to make the extra effort needed to ensure proper completion of the academic requirements prescribed,” the statement said.
