Osmania University to re-conduct BSc exam

Osmania University has decided to re-conduct the bachelor of science examinations for certain subjects in the last week of June following the recommendations of a committee constituted by the varsity to probe the June 5 fire.

The committee found that 9% of the 87,000 answer scripts were totally damaged and the remaining partially damaged in the accident. The committee, on closer scrutiny, inferred that the damage was caused more by the water used to douse the fire than the blaze itself.

According



to a press release by OU on Tuesday, the committee made the recommendation in order to maintain continuity in progression of students’ academics. “All students, except those booked for malpractice, have to reappear for the semester exams as per the revised timetable to be circulated shortly and to be displayed on the university website. 

Students need not pay any exam fee and can take the exams in the same centres with the same hall tickets issued earlier,” read the press release.
