Live Correspondent: Dhaka University’s Academic Council on Tuesday decided to hold the final examinations with physical presence of students from July 1 if coronavirus situation improves in the meantime.

Confirming the matter, Dean of Engineering Faculty Prof Dr Md Hasanuzzaman said the council decided to hold final examinations of all batches keeping the residential halls shut from July 1 if the current Covid-19 situation improves by June.

If the current Covid-19 situation does not improve by June, the examinations will be held online from the same date, he added.

The regular academic activities at Dhaka University have been at a standstill since March 18 last year due to the outbreak of coronavirus. This has been a reason of immense frustration among the university’s students, especially those studying in final year.

Meanwhile, during the last one year, students participated online classes and appeared tests and midterms for their respective courses virtually.
