Dear World, this is why DU& #39;s wet dream of online OBE is our nightmare. (1/thread)

Less than half of semester& #39;s teaching happened. More than half the students couldn& #39;t access online classes. (2/thread)

Outstation students came home for a week& #39;s vacation and have been stuck. We don& #39;t have books here and DU wants to call it "Open Book Exam". (3/thread)

How do they expect Specially Abled Students to write exams? They have neither the access to study material nor availability of writers. (4/thread)

Giving Special Ability students 5 hours instead of 3 means shit if they have nobody to write the paper for them. (5/thread)

Law Students hadn& #39;t received their case materials when lockdown happened. (6/thread)

#DUAgainstOnlineExams #ScrapOBE #DuagainstOBE @nidhiindiatv @anubha1812 @ugc_india @DrRPNishank

Law exams without case details. Need I say more? (7/thread)

DU has students from everywhere in the country. But the country doesn& #39;t have internet everywhere. (8/thread)

People with subject expertise are being asked to write students& #39; papers for money. Amazing fairness being ensured! (9/thread)

#DUAgainstOnlineExams #ScrapOBE #DuagainstOBE @nidhiindiatv @anubha1812 @ugc_india @DrRPNishank

DU told the court & #39;minimal& #39; internet will be required. The portal refuses to budge on anything less than 4G. (10/thread)

#DUAgainstOnlineExams #ScrapOBE #DuagainstOBE @nidhiindiatv @anubha1812 @ugc_india @DrRPNishank

DU says OBE is optional. Students can sit for pen-paper exam later. Lies, misdirection and obfuscation! (11/thread)

#DUAgainstOnlineExams #ScrapOBE #DuagainstOBE @nidhiindiatv @anubha1812 @ugc_india @DrRPNishank

When they resume admissions based on OBE results, the students who are left will have to wait another year. So the choice:sitting for half baked system or wasting an year. (12/thread)

By assuming students can access resources from internet, as DU argued in court, the OBE discriminates against poor students. (13/thread)

In addition to all of this, did we tell you we are in the middle of a deadly pandemic? Because DU clearly seems to have forgotten that. (14/thread)

#DUAgainstOnlineExams #ScrapOBE #DuagainstOBE @nidhiindiatv @anubha1812 @ugc_india @DrRPNishank

DU says students can access CSCs if they don& #39;t have internet. Pandemic says don& #39;t step out, especially if you are in a containment zone. Who should we listen to? (15/thread)

#DUAgainstOnlineExams #ScrapOBE #DuagainstOBE @nidhiindiatv @anubha1812 @ugc_india @DrRPNishank

FYI, CSCs are Common Service Centres set up by Government of India where internet is SUPPOSEDLY available. Some CSCs refused to allow students take their mocks today. (16/thread)

Parents have lost jobs. Family members are sick. Some students are also infected or at risk. But a Central University& #39;s priority amidst all this is to conduct exams. (17/thread)

#DUAgainstOnlineExams #ScrapOBE #DuagainstOBE @nidhiindiatv @anubha1812 @ugc_india @DrRPNishank

Let& #39;s not talk of preparedness. The OBE portal crashed several times today. People were unable to download question papers. Some people couldn& #39;t upload answers. (18/thread)
