AGARTALA, Nov 2 (TIWN): D.El.ED Students have demanded Online examinations like B.Ed and other students due to Coronavirus pandemic. On October 29, the students wanted to meet the Director of Education but he could not meet them on that date due to his tight working hours and gave appointment today. Thus, the students visited the office today to meet the Director. While talking to media, the D.Ei.ED students said that when Education Dept is taking online examinations for B.Ed why can't they do the same in case of D.Ei.ED ? They alleged that even though, they are being asked to give offline examinations but the authority sought parents' signature for that. In this regard, the students asked, why can't the Education Dept take responsibility of the students ? What is the assurance that after offline exams, nobody will suffer from COVID-19 ? Around 2,000 students will be appearing for the D.EI.ED examinations.
