UGC plea

While the UGC had directed that final year exams are mandatory, the state governments said that they were not in a position to conduct the examination. Earlier on August 18, the Supreme Court completed the hearing of the case and reserved the decision. The UGC had argued in the Supreme Court that since the degree is conferred by the UGC, the Commission has the right to order the conduct of examinations. Let us tell you that the Chief Ministers of Delhi, West Bengal, Punjab and Tamil Nadu had written to the Central Government demanding not to implement the guidelines of the UGC. Secondly, the state governments of Odisha, Delhi and Maharashtra wanted to cancel these examinations.




Advocates and Opposition Arguments Representing the teachers of West Bengal, Advocate Jaideep Gupta, challenging the UGC guidelines, had said in the Supreme Court that it is impossible to conduct the examination in the state. The UGC issued arbitrary guidelines regardless of ground realities. At the same time, lawyer Tushar Mehta, appearing for the UGC, said that the UGC directed the conduct of the final year examinations, because the Commission felt that learning is a dynamic process and the exam itself is to assess one’s knowledge. Is the only way.
