"All students are advised not to use any unfair means while writing the exam. They must be very careful in writing exams. A system is in place to detect copying or the use of unfair means in the examination. If submission (of scripts) on the portal gets delayed beyond one hour, students can use an additional one hour to upload the scripts on the OBE portal (that is the 5th hour), but in that case, students have to keep the documentary evidence (4-5 snapshots of the delay in uploading)," the notification stated.

The notice also informed us that the results of answer scripts submitted by email may be delayed due to the verification process. "Partially submitted answers by email will not be accepted. Submissions by both email and on the portal will not be accepted," the notice informed. Semester exams for the fifth and seventh terms for all its undergraduate and postgraduate programmes will be conducted on Tuesday.
