People without internet or laptop are writing their thesis/dissertation/Assignments using their hands.
Reason-
Because EFLU admin wants to follow their academic calander even during the pandemic and a national lockdown.
EFLU admin extended the winter vacation citing the reason of renovation (though all of us know why was the vacation extended. Someone was afraid of the Anti-CAA-NRC protests in the Campus.)
Now when their is need to reschedule the exams and extend it till May end..
University's unempathetic attitude towards students agonized by the cumbersome assignments & the exams being held online during this crisis is just ridiculous. It seems admin doesn't care about the prevalent digital divide & students' suffering.

My academic work should not feel like a burden! I enjoy doing it. Learning is why I am here. Burdening us with work will not make learning anymore easier!

Semester started by January 20-24 instead of January 1-5. Had one month of classes. Pandemic declared. Left university on March 17. Lockdown declared. Online classes. Dissertation. Assignments. Bad Internet Access. Now finals online?

If for renovations, our holidays were extended and students were literally forced out of the University, what Prevents the administration from rescheduling the exams during a pandemic & a lockdown??
Why so insensitive towards mental health of the students?
Other University admins: It's a pandemic, students are stranded, stressed. Let's reschedule the exams and conduct it later.
EFLU Admin: Exams will happen according to the existing schedule. No extension. Decision taken will be beneficial for students.. (Contd
Students are in a midst of a lockdown. It's not a summer vacation where we are wasting time at home. It's a panic situation. But the EFLU Admin has turned it's back on the students and their concerns. All they want is to do away with the semester. #EfluAdminRollbackCircular
The whole point of subsidised education is to make it accessible to all. Assuming that every student has steady internet AND a healthy mental state to meet deadlines and take online tests is borderline criminal. Our academia must do better.

Why was the Students' Council's plea to consider the issues faced by students met with ignorance?? While other universities are extending their date of exam by a month, why does EFLU adminstration wants to stick to the usual academic schedule..(to be cond)
Even if one has good internet, not everyone's homes have the kind of environment that's suitable to write an exam. Something that's going to hurt people's grades. Stop playing with the future of these students.

The EFLU admin has released a circular calling for online exams despite a lot of students' lack of access to good internet connectivity. This unfair decision will hurt many students and should be taken back.
