“In the backdrop of the Covid-19 pandemic, teaching and exams were conducted online, which reduced the practice of writing and there was a demand for increasing the time for taking offline examinations. The decision to increase the time taken for offline exams by 15 minutes per hour was taken at the meeting with the vice-chancellors,” Uday Samant wrote on Twitter.

“Maharashtra State Board of Technical Education will conduct its upcoming summer examinations for engineering and pharmacy diploma courses offline,” the TOI reported.
