Director of Examinations and Evaluation of RTMNU Dr Praful Sable told ‘The Hitavada’, “There are some students who could not write papers when their regular examinations were underway.

 

We were not able to hold their examinations as cases were not going down. With major relief came as the cases went down, we now prepared a schedule for their examinations and for the students of First Semester too.” RTMNU is conducting on-line examinations and all the technical side is being handled by Promarc company.
