OU to conduct exams on Sundays to save time


The Osmania University will conduct semester examinations, which had been indefinitely postponed due to Telangana agitation, on Sundays and holidays to save time. Earlier, the university had indefinitely postponed the first and third semester examinations for post-graduate students after they were disrupted four times in one-and-a-half month.
“We have lost many working days due to the agitation. If we reserve a few more days for the semester exams, which we had postponed, we may lose another week. Hence, we want to conduct these exams on Sundays to save time and ensure that students don’t miss their opportunity to take up higher education courses,” said Prof. Sudarshan Rao, the principal, OU Arts College.
“The University is concerned about the 4,000 foreign students, whose visa will soon expire and who stand the risk of losing their scholarships if we don’t conclude the academic year on time,” Prof. Rao added
