Srinagar: The authorities in Kashmir University (KU) have this year again failed to streamline the conduct of semester wise exams of the undergraduate students enrolled in degree colleges across Kashmir.
The students who were enrolled in the colleges this year (2018 batch) have so far completed the first semester exams due to the delay by the authorities to conduct their exams on tine.
“This year, classes started in colleges from the month of April and our first semester exams was supposed to be conducted before August, but KU authorities failed to schedule the exam on time,” said Sanna, a student from Soura.
As per semester system of examination which was introduced by KU in 2015, the students appear in two exams in a year. But the KU administration has failed to maintain the exam calendar which has left the students at the receiving end.
