Varsity starts helpline service for students

Nashik

: The Jalgaon-based Kavayitri Bahinabai Chaudhari North Maharashtra University has started a dedicated helpline service for the students and their parents after the state committee for examinations released its decision regarding examinations.

The state committee formed by governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari, who is the chancellor of all the state universities, said that the examinations will be conducted only for the students who are in their last semester and for the rest of the students, the results will be prepared on the basis of previous examinations.

A B Chaudhari, the coordinator of the helpline service, told TOI, “There are nearly 1.5 lakh students studying in the university. Now, that there is an unusual way of declaring results this year, the students may have several queries. So, the university has come up with the helpline service which will address all the queries of the students and their parents.”

The helpline number of the university is 0257-2258411 and the email id is covid19helpdesk@nmu.ac.in. The helpline, which is coordinated by a student query resolution cell, will be operational from May 11. The students will be able to contact them between 11am and 5pm.

“The state government has approved the suggestions given by the state committee. Our vice-chancellor, P P Patil, immediately made the arrangements,” the university authorities said.
