Department in CU set for online invigilation

Final-year postgraduate students of the microbiology department
of Calcutta University will be monitored through online invigilation by teachers during the fourth-semester examinations to be held next month.

The students have to keep their camera on in which device they are giving the exam, be it their laptop or smartphones or desktops at the time of taking the test, which was said by a  teacher of the department.

The exam will be taken in Zoom, Google meets, and the students will have to log in and out according to the time to be prescribed by the university. One or two teachers will be on duty during all the examination days who will invigilate the examinees through an online process, which was said by the teacher.

A mock test will be held soon to ensure that students get
used to the system and they do not face any problem when they take the exams. The final (fourth) semester examinations will be conducted by all the 68 postgraduate departments of the university in October.

No other department has not taken any decision on invigilating the examinees online till now, as per said by the official of the university. The university had recently declared that the individual departments would send the questions through emails or WhatsApp to the examinees half an hour before the start of the examination. After the exam, the students will have to upload the answers in PDF format through emails or WhatsApp.
