Earlier, Gauhati University conducted online examinations for the first two papers of the final semester on 1st October. However, many candidates were not able to upload the answer script within the allotted time of half an hour.
The majority of the outstation students were left without being able to submit scripts offline also. As students complained of the issue, the varsity has now issued fresh guidelines.
However, the faith of the students who could not submit the answer scripts of the previous papers is yet to be ascertained.
