PANJIM: In an important decision, the Goa University on Monday announced not to hold Semester End Examinations (SEE) for first and second year students of its undergraduate programmes, affiliated to various colleges, for the current academic year 2019-20 in view of Corona pandemic.
The University has decided to promote the students based on their internal semester assessment and practical examination held during the current semester.

“All students shall be graded based on the marks scored by them in the Intra Semester
Assessment (ISA) and Practical Examination during the current Semester,” Reddy said.
In those cases where Practical Examination of the course could not be conducted, the same will be held whenever the circumstances permit. The results of such students will be declared on completion of the Practical Examination.
“No student shall be detained from moving to the next Semester. However, students who fail after applying the above grading scheme shall have to pass the Examination for the course(s) in which s/he has failed, whenever the Examination is held next,” University said.

examinations.
The performance of students appearing for improvement of grades shall not be considered as
an additional attempt.

of lower Semesters shall be conducted from July 1 onwards.
