What is Haryana’s ‘flexi-examination’ system for post-graduate students?

Amid  COVID-19 pandemic, Haryana State Higher Education Council recently discussed the possible implementation of ‘Flexi Examination System’ or ‘Examination on Demand’ on a pilot basis for postgraduate courses in state universities.

The six universities that were part of the consultations are Chaudhary Bansi Lal University, Bhiwani, Chaudhary Ranbir Singh University, Jind, Guru Jambheshwar University of Science and Technology, Hisar, Dr B R Ambedkar National Law University, Sonipat, Sri Vishwakarma Kaushal University, Palwal, and J D C Bose University of Science and Technology, Faridabad.

Flexi-examination system

Under this system, a student may appear in any subject at any point of time and that examination may be conducted by offering questions or setting up question paper from question bank etc

As of now, students who are not able to pass their regular examination in the first attempt, have to wait for six months or a year to sit for re-examination, depending on the regulations in force in their universities.

The new system provides a second chance to weaker students to clear their exams more easily. The student who wants to re-appear in one, two, or more papers can ask the university for a suitable time when he/she is ready for the re-examination.

On the other hand, students who have the capability of finishing their examination early, will get the opportunity to do so.

Universities shall keep a comprehensive question bank ready. When a student wants to sit for an examination, either physically or in online mode, a randomised question paper will be generated.
