New Delhi: Allahabad University has planned to promote all second-year students to the third year. Following student protests, the institution changed its decision to offer offline examinations. Allahabad University will soon hold third-year semester examinations online.
Public Relations Officer of Allahabad University, Prof Jaya Kapoor said, “In view of the protest against the decision given by the high-power committee, some students protested today and sprinkled kerosene on themselves.
In view of this unfortunate situation, it has been decided in an urgent meeting of the university administration under the chairmanship of Vice-Chancellor Prof Sangita Srivastava on the request of the district administration to reconsider that all students of the second year of graduation will be promoted and the examination of the students of the third year will be taken in an online mode, the details of which will be given later”.

Since last month, students have been protesting the offline exams. However, as Allahabad University declared that semester examinations will be held online, students escalated their protest. For hours, a significant group of students protested near the AU vice chancellor's office.
After the Covid-19 outbreak hit the country, the institution switched to online education. Students asked that the AU suspend offline examinations because they had been taking online classes for over two years.
