Mangalore University Syndicate special meeting today

It will discuss, among other matters, issues related to examinations

The Syndicate of Mangalore University, which is the highest decision-making body in the university, will hold a special meeting on Monday to discuss, among other matters, the time table for conducting examinations for the final semester undergraduate and post-graduate courses of the academic year 2020-21. After several postponements since this April this year, the university completed its odd semester (first, third and fifth) examinations of the academic year 2020-21 on September 2, after a gap of about five months. The university had been forced to postpone the examinations, which had commenced on April 1, thrice due to the strike by KSRTC employees, lockdown and due to the ban imposed by the Deputy Commissioner to prevent the spread of COVID-19, mainly from Kerala. Vice-Chancellor P.S. Yadapadithaya told The Hindu that the university is planning to hold the final semester examinations, sixth semester in case of undergraduate courses and fourth semester in respect of post-graduate courses, from September 30 or during October. The dates are yet to be finalised. No online examinations will be held for the final semesters.
