It says that it had done so while keeping the health and safety of the students in mind. It states that,<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201c\u2026 it would be irrational to exempt students from final year\/terminal semester examinations and to graduate them based on their past performance.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Rejoinder filed by Yash Dubey, one of the petitioners, states,<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;it is baffling to note that just one semester of examination will be determinative of the integrity and value of a degree for which students worked hard for six (for three years course) and to ten semesters (for five year course),&#8230;&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As many as 31 students from different universities across India approached the Supreme Court to quash the UGC circular dated July 6 which has asked the universities\/institutions across India to conduct terminal semester(s)\/final year examinations by the end of September, 2020 in offline\/online\/blended mode.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The students, in their petition, urged that the exams should be canceled and the results of such students should be calculated on the basis of their internal assessment or past performance. The petition filed by students from 13 states and one union territory requested that the students\u2019 marksheets should be issued before July 31.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Another petition on the issue, filed in the Supreme Court by final year law student Yash Dubey, also sought cancellation of UGC mandated final year exams. Shiv \u00a0Sena leader Aditya Thackeray has also moved the Supreme court on behalf of Yuva Sena, the youth wing of Shiv Sena, against the mandated final year exams in the wake of rising COVID-19 cases.<\/p>\n<p>[Praneeth K. v.
