She also apprised them about the successful completion of two years of autonomy. She averred that during the challenging scenario posed by the pandemic the students were made to have full advantage of the online classes much to their satisfaction. The external members were also very appreciative of the Social Outreach Programs carried by KMV under the title #KMVKares. During the meeting, the Governing Body members took some student friendly decisions pertaining to examination & admissions. It was decided that under the present situation when COVID-19 is posing a serious threat to everyone’s health, the students of intermediary classes will be promoted to the next semester on the basis of internal assessment and performance in the previous examination. This decision has come as a great relief to the students. Another student friendly decision was to give admission in PG courses to the students who had received a compartment in a subject in UG class on a condition that the student will not be given admission in the subject of the compartment. Yet another decision that has provided a great amount of relief to the students is that there will be no fee hike in the coming semester. Many other policies which were for the benefit of the students were also implemented at this juncture. The external members were very much appreciative of Principal Prof. Dr. Atima Sharma Dwivedi, Principal, KMV for ceaselessly endeavoring to elevate the standard of higher education by introducing academic and educational reforms under autonomy.
