The Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University, Hyderabad, will release the revised second mid-term exam timetable soon. 

The Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University (JNTU), Hyderabad, has postponed the BTech, BPharm, MTech, MPharm mid-term exams, which were scheduled to be held from January 10, fearing a rise in Omicron cases. 

A notification issued by the JNTU read, “The BTech/BPharm fourth year first semester, third year first semester second mid-terms exams which were scheduled from January 10 to January 12 have been rescheduled and will be conducted from January 19 to January 21. The revised second mid-term exam timetable will be communicated soon.” The university has also released revised schedule for exam registration. Candidates can check below the revised schedule. 

The JNTU also announced that it will continue with the same question paper pattern that it followed during the COVID-19 pandemic, meaning thereby, there will be no compulsory questions and students have to answer any five out of eight questions within time duration of three hours. 

In a circular issued to the principals of all affiliated and constituent colleges, the university Registrar M Manzoor Hussain said the decision of continuing with the same exam pattern has been taken looking into the prevailing situation of the COVID-19 pandemic.  

The circular also mentioned that the university has decided to continue with the attendance exemption for BTech, BPharm, MTech, MPharm, MBA, MCA, Pharm D and Pharm D (PB) students. In view of the COVID-19 pandemic, the JNTUH in 2020-21 had exempted all UG and PG students from mandatory attendance of aggregate 75 per cent.
