Dental students in Punjab urge BFUHS to postpone exams
FARIDKOT: Amid coronavirus scare, the BDS and MDS students in 15 dental colleges of Punjab are demanding postponement of exams, scheduled to begin from July 7, in view of the pandemic.
Students claim that holding physical examination would not be safe as many students have to travel from other states and stay at hostels. Dental courses students took to social media to express their view.
“We demand postponement of exams of all years because students and their parents were not consulted before releasing date sheet. Our books were left in hostels and we didn’t get much time for preparation. The government can’t use us as their test kits,” tweeted a student.
Students demanded that first year and intermediate class students should not be conducted this year. For final year, they have urged to postpone the exams until situation gets better.
