Anna University to hold end-semester exams for final year students online
CHENNAI: With more than 20,000 engineering students with job offers anxiously waiting to start their careers, Anna University has decided to conduct end-semester exams for final year students as online proctoring tests by the end of this month. Anna University is the first state university to decide to conduct online exams amid the Covid-19 crisis. Students without digital devices and internet connectivity will be given a choice to take offline exams later. The final exams are crucial as they would help validate degrees and aid in early on-boarding of recruited students.
The one-hour proctoring test will be conducting separately for each subject, will have multiple choice questions and candidates will be monitored by artificial intelligence tools, which records physical movements of students, computer screen usage and audio to prevent malpractice. The university has floated a tender inviting bids for conducting the test, estimated to cost Rs 1.9 crore, for students from affiliated colleges and university departments
