The University of Hyderabad has announced that it will be holding the final semester exams for the Postgraduate students from September 16. The decision to conduct the final year exams was taken during a high-level committee meeting headed by the two pro-Vice-chancellors, followed by a discussion with heads of department and deans of schools. The university will be holding its exams online.

However, the varsity will give an option to students. Those students who will not be able to attend the exams scheduled to held from September 16, will be given another option to appear in the second spell of exams scheduled to be held from October 5, the varsity said in a statement.

In an open letter, Prof Appa Rao Podile, Vice-Chancellor, UoH wrote, “Adversity reveals the character of individuals and institutions. I am now coming back to you with another important decision that we have had to take for reasons beyond our control.”

"The Hyderabad University had earlier decided to evaluate students based on an alternative mechanism, however, after the decision of the Supreme Court which states that no state or university can promote students without conducting exams, the varsity is holding exams. I am fully aware that this may cause some inconvenience and pose logistical challenges to some of the students who are now dispersed across different parts of the country. Let me assure you that the University administration, along with the academic leadership of various units, will come up with a range of flexible options for the online examination and see that we minimise the pain that this may cause students,” the V-C wrote.

“Please treat this as a course correction that the University is compelled to make for the benefit of our students who are among the best in the country and to ensure their bright futures. I am sure we will overcome all the ongoing crises we are facing as an institution and emerge even stronger and resilient, with the cooperation and support of all our stakeholders,” the letter read.
