LU EC approves new SOP for educational tours, final theory marks sole basis for medals

Lucknow University EC approved a new SOP for educational tours, requiring prior VC approval and a dedicated tour committee.

Tours must link classroom learning with field experience; students will visit national institutes, museums, wildlife sanctuaries, etc.

Students must maintain a field diary, collect data, submit a report, and their performance will carry weightage in final exam marks.

Medal awards will now be based solely on final theory marks, ending subjectivity from internal assessments.

The reforms aim to make academics more transparent and student-centric.
