HYDERABAD: All undergraduate (UG) and post-graduate (PG) examinations were postponed by the
Telangana State Council of Higher Education a day after the state ordered closure of all educational institutions from Wednesday.
Several universities such as Osmania University (OU) and Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University, Hyderabad (JNTUH) were conducting end-semester and supplementary exams for various UG/PG courses.
The collegiate education department issued an order on Wednesday stating: “Registrars of the universities in the state of Telangana are hereby informed that the online classes/examinations can continue but classes/exams offline may be rescheduled in view of the orders issued by the government.”
“Revised exam schedule will be issued by us later. For now, we have postponed all the UG/PG exams keeping in view safety of the students,” said Papi Reddy, chairman, TSCHE.
Even the University of Hyderabad has decided to pause the return of terminal semester PG students and all research scholars (except the 2020 batch) to the campus. “After a review meeting held by vice-chancellor with senior administrators and task force, the university has announced that it was putting on hold all plans to start in-person or blended teaching classes until further orders. The academic units have been asked to continue all teaching online and conduct end-semester examinations also online,” read a UoH statement.
All medical colleges will continue to run classes and exams as per schedule as they have been exempted from the state order for closure of educational institutions
