According to the latest update, the Madhya Pradesh state government ordered state universities and colleges to conduct open-book tests for undergraduate and graduate students. Previously, the state had announced open-book exams for freshmen and sophomores, but now open-book exams would also be conducted for seniors studying at public universities and colleges. The decision was made taking into account the second wave of COVID-19 and the rapid rise in coronavirus infections.
