In the month of December 2020, HC of Madras ordered all the state universities to conduct the arrear exams. It is now said that MU would release the second year exam results.
It is learnt that the colleges which received questions from the university have sent those to the students through WhatsApp. From their homes, the students wrote the exams and sent the answer sheets on the same day to their colleges.
Point is that the colleges evaluated the answer sheets and sent the marks to the university. The examinations were conducted on mutual trust and not monitored. This was mentioned by a principal belonging to a college in Chennai.
