He also asked the universities to make sure there are no malpractices during the online semester exams and requested students to not indulge in any unfair practices.
A week back, the Tamil Nadu government announced that the university semester exams slated for this month-end have been postponed indefinitely due to the Covid-19 situation. Before the state government’s decision, the University of Madras postponed all semester exams scheduled to begin from January 21.
Tamil Nadu schools were shut for classes up to Class 9 on January 5 to tackle the rising coronavirus cases, CM MK Stalin said.
