BU undergraduate exams pushed to October

Bangalore University has rescheduled the undergraduate exams to be held on September 25 and 28 to October 6 and 4, respectively.

The exams were cancelled due to the Karnataka-wide bandh call given by various farmers’ organisations.

Exams for the final-year postgraduate courses have also been postponed to October 5, instead of September 28.

The rescheduling has disappointed faculty members and students as the new exam date falls on a Sunday.

“How can they conduct exams on a Sunday when we teachers get a day’s weekly off?” said a faculty member of a BU-affiliated college in the city.

Another faculty member said: “We don’t mind working on a Sunday, but they don’t offer a compensatory off on another day.”
