West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee wrote to Prime Minister Narendra Modi today, urging him to re-examine the University Grants Commission (UGC) directive that mandated final examinations in colleges and universities by September-end.
In her letter, the chief minister said the July 6 guidelines of the UGC will adversely affect the interests of students.
"I understand that various states have already raised the issue with the government of India, expressing their concerns and disagreement with the new guidelines," Ms Banerjee said in her letter.
"I would, therefore, request you to get the matter re-examined immediately...," she said.
