I honestly cannot believe I am typing this but the exams are actually postponed and we officially won. My hands are shaking a little bit because I spent so many nights pacing my room thinking this would never happen but we actually made them listen to us. Keep your books …

This is to inform that we the students of Colleges under RGUHS, are addressing our problems as a student and our parent's problems in view of the the current situation due to pandemic and the BDS exam scheduled to be held in October 2020.
The following are our concerns:
1. Most students don't have proper means of travel to Bangalore. Flights are getting cancelled and people staying in rural areas have no connectivity to reach airports and travel to Bangalore.
2. The covid pandemic is increasing day by day and Karnataka is in the 3rd position in effected start in India and India is also seeing Corona outburst. This is an extremely risky situation to travel as students from all over India will be traveling to Bangalore and infection will further increase.
3. Most students are hostelites and our parents are extremely worried as to who will be responsible in case we get infected after reaching Bangalore as neither the college authorities nor the hostel authorities are ready to take any responsibility, financially or otherwise.
4. Many students residing in rural areas did not have proper internet connectivity due to which they couldn't attend online classes. Also, online classes in a course like BDS or MBBS is not enough for the kind of practical knowledge we need for our professions. Practical classes have not been conducted. I request its only fair to keep exams after proper classes and preparation has been done.
5. Keeping exams in between a rising pandemic will only deteriorate our mental and physical health. Not to mention the risk of infection for the college staff and hostel staff who are at a greater risk due to their age.
6. Staying in hostels can increase the risk of spread of infection as social distancing norms are difficult to be followed by the common mess and common washroom.
The above mentioned problems are genuine and applicable to most students. We request the authorities to please reconsider their decision and not make their students choose between career and health as both are utmost important.
We hereby request you to consider our concerns and address our problems and please conduct the exams only when the situation gets better.

Students life matter's. No offline exam's when daily case's more then 8k , somany asymptomatic people are there in Bangalore. somany genuine problems for out-of-state students , not every Student will have same immunity to face covid19 situation , students are not lab rats during this covid19 pandemic
singing this petition because I’m a Iranian student of Rajiv Gandhi university and embassy don’t release students visa and it’s necessary to come back , so if the exams holds our time and cost will be west because we can not take part Please conduct Online exams Or postpone them till situation will be better
It is difficult to travel from Kerala to karnataka now amidst the rising covid cases. Also students from different states are coming and staying in the same hostel sharing the same toilets and mess. Our college is also a covid isolation ward. Please postpone the exams.
Plzz postponed the exam... Feeling so depressed bcz all these situations.. Transportations, staying in hostel, exam and everything is task for us.. We don't even have our booke.. Studying with other media's is not at all practical.. Give us some more time to study and to make ourselves ready.
Please postpone 1-3rd BDS exams.....DCI has issued a notice to keep only final year exams & to keep for 1-3rd after the situation becomes normal....please do consider....students in our hostel r getting infected...few r corona positive....our lives are more important than exams.
Postpone the exam
Kindly postpone the university exam

As a physician in the US, I am in the middle of the global pandemic and I feel that the future physicians of this world should not be compelled to take their examinations and be put in harm's way.
