Kerala universities postpone all offline examinations

By Express News Service
THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: As the state continues to witness a steep surge in Covid circumstances, all offline college examinations that had been scheduled to be held from Monday have been postponed indefinitely. The revised dates might be introduced later.

Calicut University, Kerala University, MG University, Malayalam University, Kalady Sanskrit University, Kerala Technological University and Kerala University of Health Sciences are the varsities which have postponed their exams. “Kerala University is likely to begin the rescheduled exams from May 10. A decision will be made as per the circumstances at the time,” the Controller of Examinations mentioned.

The varsities introduced the choice after Governor Arif Mohammed Khan instructed all vice-chancellors to postpone the exams following a request from Shashi Tharoor, MP. In a tweet on Saturday, Tharoor had criticised the conduct of examinations at a time when the state’s Covid state of affairs was worsening.
