JEE (Advanced) 2019, Mumbai University exam dates changed due to elections; check revised schedule here

Mumbai University has rescheduled 103 exams that would have clashed with the LS polls. The new schedule, which was announced on Tuesday, will also hit announcement of results. Similarly, the JEE (Advanced) for admission to IITs and NITs has been postponed from May 19 to May 27.
The university has rescheduled exams that were starting on or scheduled for April 22, 23, 24, 29 and 30. Around 30 commerce and management, 17 science and technology, and 29 interdisciplinary exams which were to start on these dates have been postponed. Papers of 27 exams which were to start before the two phases of elections have been rescheduled too. Four of these are science and technology papers, five commerce and management, and 18 interdisciplinary.

"These exams will begin before the elections. Some of the papers would have clashed with the election dates. The university has tried to keep the changes to a bare minimum," said Vinod Patil, director, board of examinations and evaluations. The list of rescheduled exams is posted on the university's website and the detailed schedule will be made available soon.

"Exams for self-financed courses have been postponed by 10 days. Results of some of the fifth semester exams for these programmes, which were held in October, are yet to be announced. If the final semester exams are held in May, the results may only be declared by July or August instead of June. This will also delay admissions to post-graduation courses in India and abroad. Many students who appear for entrance tests will be stuck," said a suburban college teacher.

Another teacher said the vacation was to start on May 1 but that will not happen now.
