Patna University to conduct pending exams from November 24

According to the revised schedule, final examination for BA, BSc and BCom part II students will be held between November 24 to December 1 while part I students of these courses will take examination between December 4 to 21.

Patna University (PU) released the revised examination schedule for undergraduate part II and I students, which was postponed due to state assembly elections. According to the revised schedule, final examination for BA, BSc and BCom part II students will be held between November 24 to December 1 while part I students of these courses will take examination between December 4 to 21. Talking about the released schedule, PU’s controller of examination RK Mandal said, “The exams will be conducted at six exam centres and in keeping with the COVID-19 safety protocols. Exam schedule for practical or viva examination will be notified by heads of constituent colleges.” Meanwhile, students of vocational courses are still waiting for the examination programme announcement.

Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, PU earlier promoted students of part I and part II to their next grade without conducting the scheduled examination in an attempt to keep the academic session on time. However, several students ruled that they now have a mixed syllabus of current and last year.

A first-year student of Magadh Mahila College said, “We are taking classes for second year without taking final exam of the first year since August. Now, I have mixed up the syllabus of both parts. I have forgotten the topics of first year.” “The varsity should have adopted alternative arrangements for conducting exam on time. We have to take exams of the syllabus which was covered a year ago. I doubt students will pass with flying marks," said another second-year student of BN College. Meanwhile, the on-going admission process for undergraduate and diploma courses for new academic session under PU is likely to be concluded by this month, said an official. The varsity also extended the date for filling Patna University admission forms for postgraduate traditional courses until November 30.
