Aurangabad, May 7:

The administration of Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar Marathwada University (Bamu) has declared summer holidays for the teachers of university departments and affiliated colleges.

The teachers get summer vacation mostly from the last week of April to the second week of June. However, the academic schedule was disturbed because of Covid outbreak in March 2020. The examinations of the first session of all years were to be conducted between September to December every year.

Now, they are being held in February-March. This means the schedule of each session is lagging behind by around six months. There are 440 colleges with 4.4 lakh students in Aurangabad, Jalna, Beed and Osmanabad districts while there are 50 departments with more than 5000 students.

Not all teachers to enjoy vacations

Many college teachers feel they may not be able to avail themselves of vacation because of the examination work. Teachers will have to work as invigilators, moderators, and centre chiefs and complete assessments in time for the result. Bamu in its circular a few days ago stated that the teachers will be engaged in different works of the examinations as and when asked.
