In light of the ongoing conflict between India and Pakistan, the O P Jindal Global University (JGU) on Friday announced that all end-semester examinations for Spring 2025 will now be held entirely online.
The examinations, initially scheduled for this week, will now commence from May 13 to give administrators time to shift to the online mode, the university added.
In an email sent on Friday by the Registrar’s office, the university said the decision was taken “not due to any direct threat to campus safety, but as a proactive and precautionary step”. “The JGU campus remains secure and fully functional, and we continue to function with complete preparedness and abundant care,” it added.
In the email, the university clarified that students are not required to vacate campus and may choose to appear for online exams from their hostel rooms. “Accommodation and essential services will remain operational,” it said. However, those who feel “extremely unsettled” have been given the option to return to their families.
“We understand that there is a likelihood of Internet services getting disrupted in certain sensitive areas... the university will conduct examinations for them later as per the institutional policy,” the email stated.
