IIEST end-semester exams on digital platform

IIEST will conduct its end-semester exams, scheduled for January, on digital platforms, an official of the Shibpur institute said.

The decision follows an assessment by the institute that most students managed to write last month’s mid-semester exams in the digital mode overcoming all constraints, the official said.

The institute had feared that around 15 per cent of the 3,000-odd examinees would not be able to write the mid-semester exams because of lack of access to devices like smartphones and laptops or because of poor connectivity.
