Dainik Bhaskar — unethical circular for online exams

The dean academics of manit bhopal had issued a circular for final year ug/pg student on 04/05/2020 regarding the online examination and submission of the thesis they have to give in june, irrespective of the webinar on 05/05/2020 in which hrd minister mentioned that sessions will restart in july and exams will be conducted. The final date for submission of the thesis draft for pg student is kept 20th may, as told by different departments to the students.

In the pandemic situation of covid-19, it is very unethical to pressurize students to submit a thesis as many of them are strangled with limited sources like not having laptops, improper net connectivity, and most of the students were dependent on the institute to use laboratories for thesis work.
Students are also complaining that when they were asked to evacuate the hostels immediately, they left their laptops in the hostel. Some students have raised issues of being detained due to the coronavirus and in such a situation how can they prepare the thesis with almost no proper resources.

A related notice was previously circulated by the college in april which addressed students to submit the thesis by 30th april 2020. Later professors and faculty members opposed it and said it is not viable to ask the student to submit a thesis in a situation where the whole country is battling for safety.
