It seems that there might not be a normal situation for another 2 months in TN. As a result, the pending semester examinations would be conducted by the TN government only by the end of the month of September.

Important information is if the control of Coronavirus infection is under control then the counselling for the students seeking admission to the engineering colleges would also be carried out in September month. This was as per DOTE or Directorate of Technical Examinations.

There would be a detailed review meeting organised by the expert committee soon. This was mentioned by an officer belonging to the Higher Education Department. It is known that the expert committee was formed to look into the time loss issue. He added that due to the emerging situation in connection with Coronavirus infection pandemic in TN it is important to protect the principles of health, safety, fair and equal opportunities. 

He concluded that it was important to ensure academic credibility, career opportunities and future progress of the students. It must be noted that the students would feel confident when they appear and perform in the exams. Tamil Nadu is keen on conducting the final semester examinations for the students. The final semester exams were postponed indefinitely for all the college students since March is a known fact.

The new academic schedule starts from September and this was per UGC. It is now said that the semester examinations must be conducted along with the other state students. Every year, the engineering courses counselling starts in the last week of June month but in 2020 this has been postponed due to Coronavirus pandemic. 

Point is that even AICTE has rescheduled the counselling for engineering according to the state`s pandemic situation. It was hinted by DOTE authority that the counselling and admission would be finished in one month and colleges would reopen in October.
