Indore, Jun 28 () A total of 255 Indian Institute of Technology Indore students on Sunday started writing their M.Tech open book examinations online from their homes, said its spokesperson Sunil Kumar.

He said this was the first time in the 11-year history of the IIT here that students were sitting at home and answering tests, scheduled to end on July 6.

"These students have been hired by companies and we want them to take their responsibilities at the right time," he added.

The students of IIT and Indian Institute of Management Indore had left for home when the coronavirus outbreak began here in March.
