AGARTALA, Jan 18 (TIWN): Hours after Education Minister Ratan Lal Nath screamed at the students for their demand on online exams or exam postponement, students of various Degree Colleges alleged “Discrimination” among students in the mode of the exams. Meeting the authority of the Education Dept, students said they want either online exams or exam postponement. Students asked, why is there no same rule for all college exam modes? Talking to the media, a student said, “If online exams are taken for a few colleges, we also deserve that opportunity. When results will be given, will the marksheet display the online/offline exam mode ? Why will few colleges' students sit for offline exams and few for online ?”
