Various stakeholders of the system of higher education are confused or worried about whether examinations will take place and if so, what will be its format or when it will be conducted. Such a situation led to the researchers undertaking an exploratory survey on 1061 undergraduate and post-graduate students to find out the opinions of students regarding whether examinations need to be conducted.

If at all, examinations have to be conducted, then it should be in the month of October 2020. The students’ opinion regarding examinations is likely to be due their overall anxiety (fear of the unknown) which can further affect students’ other part of life such as social, personal and professional too.
