CU Rejects Date Change Request For Law Exams
Calcutta University is keeping the date of its law exams on August 28th, even though it's the same day as a big celebration for a political group's student wing.
The government asked them to change the date because they were worried about traffic making it hard for students to get to the exam.
But the university decided not to change the exam date because they have prepared the schedule in advance.
Calcutta University will not reschedule undergraduate law semester exams.
The exams are scheduled for August 28, coinciding with the TMCP foundation day.
The higher education department requested a date change, citing potential traffic disruptions.
CU's VC stated altering exam dates for political events sets a precedent.
The university cited the exam schedule was prepared in advance considering registered holidays.
