Mangalore University has postponed undergraduate and postgraduate examinations planned for August 14 and 28 due to notification from the Dakshina Kannada district government concerning public transportation disruptions due to a weekend curfew. As per the registrar, disruptions in public transportation will make it difficult for university students to get to the test center on these two days. As a result, the examination has been postponed by the university.
The registrar announced in a press statement that the amended examination schedule will be emailed to students today. The university’s website, www.mangalore-university.co.in, will also have it. On August 11, a total of 41,989 undergraduate and 5,676 post-graduate students took the exam. There were 1,876 undergraduate students and 56 postgraduate students who were not present. The institution rescheduled the odd semester examinations, which began on 11 August, in response to district administration orders to avoid the spread of COVID-19.
