Arrear exams in Tamil Nadu
Engineering students in Tamil Nadu who have arrears and have applied for re-exam in April and May this year have to write the exams to pass their graduation, said AICTE chairman Anil Sahasrabuddhe.

Sources privy to various Developments in education sector have said that Anil Sahasrabuddhe has said that he found it surprising that final year students are being passed without conducting examinations.

This was not acceptable, such students who are passed without conducting examinations will not receive acceptance from the industry or from other higher education institutions.

This protest by AICTE has come of a shock for certain students who were in a thought that they could pass the exams without much effort, say sources tracking the Developements in education sector.
