Common Service Centre for online exams 

Replying to a student's concern on Twitter regarding the feasibility of an online exam in view of poor internet connectivity for those living in villages Kumar tweeted, "You won’t need very high connectivity. We are figuring this out. One of the solutions is that you can go to the nearest common service centre." He also informed that the question paper will most likely be objective type. He said that the students will get enough time to prepare for their exams and advised the students to utilise the time in self-study and exam preparation. 

Most of the students replied to his tweets and complained that their colleges have not yet started conducting the classes online. He asked the students to share the details of their college where the online classes have not begun. "If your college is not serious, then please share details of your college," Kumar replied to a student's tweet.
