One student sought a postponement because the syllabus had only been "partially done". He asked for the exams to be postponed till after there is "face-to-face" teaching as students are finding it hard to "catch-up with the syllabus".

Many have shared screenshots of their online classes.
“I would like to request to @DrRPNishank to pass all the students of session 2020-21 becoz there has been no proper studies this year. Online class is just a formality to take the fees from students. In that also nothing is visible,” one student said.
