Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has instructed the Technical Education Department to conduct online exams for students of Rajiv Gandhi Technical University.
The chief minister’s decision came on the heels of protest by students of the university popularly known as Rajiv Gandhi Praodyogik VIshwavidyalya (RGPV). The students were running campaigns on social media, demanding offline exams should be cancelled.
Besides, the students had also staged a massive protest on the university’s premises on November 29 and threatened that they would boycott the exams if it would not be cancelled.
