Students Protest Outside Calcutta University Demanding Online Exams

Students protested at Calcutta University (CU) on May 27 in outrage at the university's online examinations. Nearly 200 students protested outside the university's main campus on College Street, arguing that two months of classroom training was insufficient to complete a six-month semester's coursework and hold offline exams. Similar protests occurred twice in the previous week. Two high-power organizations suggested that undergraduate and postgraduate end-of-semester exams be conducted online.
