UoH to hold final semester exams from Sep 16

The University of Hyderabad will conduct its final semester exams for postgraduate students from September 16. The decision was taken after a meeting of a high-level committee headed by the two pro vice-chancellors, followed by a discussion with heads of department and deans of schools. The university will be holding its exams online.

Hyderabad University, however, is giving students an option. Those students who are unable to attend the exams from September 16, will have another opportunity to appear in the second spell of exams scheduled for October 5, the



university said in an official statement.

In an open letter, Prof Appa Rao Podile, Vice-Chancellor, UoH wrote, “Adversity reveals the character of individuals and institutions. I am now coming back to you with another important decision that we have had to take for reasons beyond our control.”

The university had earlier decided to evaluate students based on an alternative mechanism, however, after the decision of the Supreme Court which states that no state or university can promote students without conducting exams, the varsity is holding exams.
