CYSS SUPPORTERS ARE ON NATIONWIDE HUNGER STRIKE AGAINST FINAL YEAR EXAMS
Members of Aam Aadmi Party along with CYSS are carrying out a hunger strike against online exams of final year students nationwide. Students from 15 different states are supporting CYSS.
Due to COVID-19, final year students have not yet appeared for their final semester exams. UGC released its guidelines that students cannot be promoted by just awarding a degree without exams. That degree will not have any value in the long run. But, it is not safe for the students to appear for classroom exams. If UGC plans to conduct online exams, there are many students who do not have access to proper internet connectivity and electronic gadgets. That is why students would not be able to appear for online exams either. Chhatra Yuva Sangharsh Samiti (CYSS) raised its voice in favor of the students.
