Anshul Kumar, a student said, “There is a huge network problem with us. I was unable to attend the online classes properly.

Another student, Harikesh Maurya tweeted: “Sir, please promote all the students because I and a lot of other students live in rural areas and the network connectivity is poor. We can’t attend online classes finished, which is not enough for the university to hold exams for the entire semester. ”
In a similar tone, Satya Shri also tweeted, “Promote all the students because we are not ready for the online exam. Only 30-35% of the program is complete thanks to online courses, so how are we going to pass the exam? Therefore, please promote all students in this pandemic situation. “
Priya Chaudhary’s tweet reads: “To solve the objective questionnaire, thorough knowledge is essential. But in a short time it is not possible. So it is unfair to conduct the exam in this situation. “
Shivamsh Tiwari asserted that we are not robots that can cover a 6 month program in a month without proper classes. “It means you all encourage cheating.”
Another student, Ajay Singh, is now asking the university to reimburse the exam fees. He said there is no offline exam, so the university would have to reimburse the fees. “We paid Rs 4,100 for a semester exam. The university collected ₹ 41 crore from a lakh of students as a result. Where did that money go?” he said.
Taking a shot at AKTU, student Shiva Kumar said: “The university which is unable to correctly report results online will now conduct exams online.” He further added that MCQ questions for the first time could impact their results.
