Online Exam Instructions for the Students of BS Programs

Important instructions for BS students who will take on-line examination:

The online examination will be invigilated by PIEAS faculty through cameras. Students will arrange webcams and mics and ensure their functionality well before the online exam. Monitoring will be done using alternative means employed by experts, including Microsoft Team meeting, parallel to CANVAS. The students will keep their cameras and mics on for interaction with the invigilators. A complete recording of the invigilation will be saved for future reference. Any attempts to jeopardize invigilation or use of any unfair means during the exam will lead to serious consequences as per university rules.
Any failure in attempting the online exam due to load shedding and internet problems, will be considered by a committee of Deans; and if found genuine, necessary compensation will be provided. However, to avail this opportunity, an affectee will apply with strong justification/proof to the Controller of Examination.
For any answers to be uploaded in the online exam, students must attempt the exams on A4 / legal-size white papers or loose exam/ assignment sheets (available in market). Pages torn from notebooks/register and colored pages will not be accepted. Students will also not solve questions in notebooks/registers and upload the images of their relevant pages.
Students will provide the following information at the top of each page to be uploaded.

After writing an answer, images of the answer sheets must be uploaded and for text answers, MCQs, etc., allocated box provided by CANVAS should be used. The images of the answers to be uploaded must be in pdf format and students must make sure well before the commencement of the examination that they have the relevant software to convert images into pdf files installed in their devices.
The images of the answer sheets should not be of high resolution and should be converted into gray scale to reduce the size of the files to be uploaded. Before uploading the files, students will also ensure that the pages of the pdf files are properly oriented by rotating them clockwise, counterclockwise, etc. They will also ensure that the text in files is legible, not washed out, and with high contrast.
Students must timely prepare for the online exam for each subject by charging their devices and sustainable internet access during the exam. They are supposed to keep the examination accessories (clipboards, pens, calculator, geometry box, drinking water) for their in-time access. Note that they will not be allowed to leave their place of examination. They may be asked by the invigilators to show around the place of their examination.
No queries will be raised before the invigilators about any question or possible answer during the exam. Any discrepancy observed by a student in a question must be reported separately by making it a part of the answer.
The students should be logged in to CANVAS at least 20 minutes before the exam starts. Reporting late into the examination portal will not be entertained.
Student must also keep a copy of the original answer sheets of each subject with them. They will be asked to submit to their respective department offices the relevant files when PIEAS opens for students.

Good Luck!
