A very sad batch year for graduates. I think government should step up and address this issue. What if this pandemic would still close schools and have virtual classes for a decade? More and more will suffer from this mindset of some companies.
At least in some of the states, they are asking the students to appear for offline exams. Because widespread fraud has been reported in online exams and undeserving candidates are scoring very high grades. But the students (as well as the parents) are protesting against this, because vaccination hasn't yet opened for those under 18 in India. So essentially the government is asking unvaccinated students to appear for exams, at a time when the delta variant is causing huge number of deaths and hospitalizations.
