The college finally reversed the decision and agreed to handle our examinations in a way that respects our health and schedule. Looking back at the state of our hostels I am beyond relieved that we stood our ground to prevent this academic trap. We won this together and now we …
Due to the ongoing pandemic since March 2020, we have been having online classes. Recently, we have received a notice from the college to begin the next semester(even semester), without conducting exams(mid semesters or end semesters) for the previous semester i.e the odd semester. All these exams will be held, at once. Each semester has 5 subjects and 4 laboratory practicals. So two semesters make 10 subjects(theory) and 8 lab practicals.
Giving 20 theory papers(mids and ends) and 8 practicals at once is unfeasible and tremendously burdensome. If even one student falls sick during the examination period or fails to take the exam for some unavoidable reason he/she would lose all the exams and may end in a year loss, or numerous backlogs.
Conducting offline exams now keeping in mind, the current scenario, before beginning the next semester also does not seem quite plausible seeing the working conditions of the college and the hostels. The hostels are small compared to the huge number of students residing in them, they have unhygienic shareable washrooms, lack of proper access to clean water and deleterious mess conditions. In simple words, there is no proper sanitation, no clean food or water, thus making the hostels uninhabitable . Not to forget, that a few of these hostels were made COVID centres for the yesteryear, 2020.
Hence, it’s a kind request to the Government from all the students of VSSUT, Burla to conduct online examinations for the odd Semester first and then move on to the next like the other Government technical colleges of Odisha. Future jobs and careers of the students depend on the marks scored in the college examinations. The students of today, are the standing pillars of a well built and developed society tomorrow. Such a method of exam will end up only in unnecessary backlogs and reduced CGPA, which results in career loss and unemployment of the students. We the students of VSSUT, Burla hope the Government will accept our petition and conduct online examinations for this semester before moving on to the next.
Seeing the count hit one hundred signatures this morning hit me hard because I know exactly how much pressure we are all feeling about these upcoming exams. It feels like a weight has been lifted to realize that so many of you are just as worried as I am about these impossible conditions.

The pressure is mounting as we approach one hundred signatures from fellow students who are terrified about this impossible workload. Please post this link to your social media accounts now because we need to prove that we will not accept these reckless academic decisions.

It's totally unfair to give exams of 10 subjects i.e, of both the sems one after the other. How much knowledge we gained through this online classes,that is known to all of us.

Due to covid 19 as per VSSUT university notice
3rd and 4the sem exam will held in may. I request our university to reconsider and reschedule the 3rd and 4the sem exam. If both sem exam will held in may it could be pressure for all students. Atleast give us one month time between 3rd and 4the sem exam.

Go one by one as giving 20 theory papers and 8 practicals in a single go is just like throwing atom bombs on the student.So, please complete the odd semester then you can go for even semester so that you will be happy,we will be happy and everyone will be happy.

For practicals And lab exams , lab videos can be given. If someone is having any doubt in practicals then teachers can conduct 2doubt classes a week in college. In this way our lab practicals can be taught and the rest academic courses are already taught and finished in online mode

The 3rd semester exam should be done online. Doing 2 semesters offline at the same time is a mental pressure for students. Its unfair and thats not how the education should be
