Maharashtra Extends CAP Registration Deadline for BE, MBA Courses to July 16 The Maharashtra State Common Entrance Test (CET) Cell has extended the deadline for online registration for the Centralised Admission Process (CAP) for first-year engineering (BE/BTech) and MBA/MMS courses for the 2026-27 academic session until July 16. This extension provides additional time for thousands of eligible candidates who have not yet completed the admission process. The original deadline, set for July 12, has been pushed back by four days to accommodate those still awaiting final year mark sheets, particularly for postgraduate admissions under Nagpur University. According to the CET Cell, a total of 2,76,794 students have already registered for the two professional courses. Engineering admissions account for the majority of registrations, with 2,28,536 candidates having completed the process, while 48,258 have registered for MBA/MMS programs. Candidates are required to complete online registration, upload necessary documents, and choose between E-Scrutiny or Physical Scrutiny for document verification. Students opting for E-Scrutiny can have their applications verified online without visiting a facilitation centre, while those selecting Physical Scrutiny must report to the nearest Scrutiny Centre (SC) or Facilitation Centre (FC) for verification. The CET Cell clarified that candidates who registered for and appeared in the MAH CET 2026 examination are exempt from paying the CAP registration fee. However, candidates from categories such as NRI, OCI, PIO, Foreign Nationals, and children of Indian workers in Gulf countries must pay the prescribed admission fee, which is non-refundable.#nagpur_university #maharashtra_state_common_entrance_test_cell #centralised_admission_process #maharashtra_cet_cell #cap_registration_deadline

MLA Datke Seeks NEP-Focused VC, Pro-VC Postings Nagpur: BJP MLA Pravin Datke emphasized the need for Vice-Chancellors and Pro Vice-Chancellors in Maharashtra to prioritize the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 during a state assembly debate on education policy. Speaking on Thursday, Datke argued that appointments should not solely depend on academic credentials but also on candidates’ understanding of the NEP and their ability to promote multidisciplinary training. His remarks were part of a discussion on reforms for primary, secondary, and higher education. Datke highlighted a report prepared by the ABVP (Akhil Bharatiya Vidya Bhawan) following surveys and consultations on NEP implementation. The report, he stated, had been submitted to the governor and the higher and technical education minister. He urged the government to adopt measures to strengthen NEP execution, including a uniform academic calendar across all universities in Maharashtra. Additionally, he called for clear guidelines on implementing the Academic Bank of Credits (ABC), credit transfer systems, credit equivalence, and the National Credit Framework (NCrF). The MLA also demanded a state-wide policy to standardize faculty workload, address vacancies in teaching and non-teaching positions, and align credit systems across regulatory bodies such as the UGC, AICTE, and universities. He advocated for greater industry involvement in curriculum design to ensure practical relevance. Datke raised concerns about access to competitive exams, noting that Nagpur hosts one of Maharashtra’s six examination centers. He proposed establishing an additional center in Vidarbha to benefit students from rural areas.#nagpur #nagpur_university #abvp #mla_pravin_datke #nep_2020

NU Result Delay Leaves PG Aspirants in Limbo Nagpur University’s (NU) prolonged delay in releasing results for summer examinations has thrown postgraduate aspirants into uncertainty, disrupting their admission processes across multiple institutions. Students who had already begun the application cycle for postgraduate programs now face a precarious situation as the university’s failure to issue final results has rendered their admission prospects unstable. One such case involves a final-year BSc student from a Gondia college affiliated with NU. She traveled nearly 400 kilometers to the Indira Gandhi National Tribal University (IGNTU) in Amarkantak, Madhya Pradesh, to secure admission to an MSc Zoology program. However, her application was initially rejected because NU had not yet released her sixth-semester marksheet, despite the exams concluding on June 11. The student, who spoke to The Times of India (TOI), described her frustration as she attempted to resolve the issue. She contacted NU’s exam section officials, prompting IGNTU to communicate with NU’s authorities for clarification. While NU provided the requested information, her admission remains unresolved. “I traveled nearly 400 kilometers to secure admission, but IGNTU officials refused to consider my application because my sixth-semester results are yet to be declared by NU,” she said, her voice breaking. “I was under the impression that I would get a provisional seat. However, IGNTU insisted on the original marksheet. I cleared my previous semesters, but now my admission is at risk for no fault of mine.” Another affected student is a BTech graduate whose NU winter exam results have not been released, hindering his chances of securing admission at another institution.#the_times_of_india #nagpur_university #gondia #indira_gandhi_national_tribal_university #amarkantak

Nagpur University Team Develops Safe Mercury Lamp Disposal Method Researchers at Nagpur University (NU) have developed a groundbreaking method to safely dispose of mercury-containing electric lamps, addressing a significant environmental and health hazard. The initiative, led by Dr. Sanjay Dhoble, a senior professor and head of the Physics department, along with research students Sanket Helode and Abhijit Kadam, focuses on preventing mercury vapour release during the disposal of fluorescent tubes and compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs). Their work has resulted in two patents, marking a critical step in mitigating mercury pollution in urban areas. Mercury, a toxic heavy metal, is present in fluorescent tubes and CFLs, with typical concentrations ranging from 44mg in larger tubes to about 4mg in CFLs. When these lamps are discarded improperly and break, mercury vapour is released, contaminating soil and water. This poses serious health risks, including kidney damage and an increased likelihood of cancer. India currently lacks a comprehensive system for the safe collection and disposal of such lamps, leaving households and municipalities vulnerable to environmental and health hazards. The research team faced significant challenges in their project, particularly in collecting used lamps from households without causing breakage and transporting them safely to designated disposal sites. To overcome this, they designed a specialized "lamp collection unit" that enables secure door-to-door collection and consolidated storage. This unit ensures that lamps are handled without damage, reducing the risk of mercury leakage during transportation. Once collected, the damaged lamps are processed in a specially designed enclosed system that prevents mercury vapour from mixing with the surrounding air.#nagpur_university #manali_kshirsagar #dr_sanjay_dhoble #sanket_helode #abhijit_kadam

Nagpur University Results Delayed as Academic Year Begins A significant number of students from Nagpur University (NU) are still waiting for their summer 2026 examination results despite the new academic session having started. As of Thursday evening, the university had only declared 353 results, with the majority remaining pending. Students reported difficulties accessing the online result portal, which was inaccessible on Thursday, and no new results had been uploaded since Wednesday. MBA students, whose results were recently announced, faced issues viewing them online due to the portal outage. University officials stated that the portal is undergoing repairs and is expected to be restored soon. NU conducted approximately 1,050 examinations during the summer 2026 session. While some exams are still ongoing and may continue into the following week, results for several major courses remain unannounced. In some cases, the university has already exceeded its 30-day deadline for declaring results. This delay has caused anxiety among students seeking admission to professional courses, as online registration for the Common Admission Process (CAP) for MBA admissions began on Thursday. Students require their mark sheets to complete the application process. Compounding the issue, students and colleges are also dealing with unresolved problems from the winter 2025 examination cycle. Among the summer results that have been declared, colleges have reported a high number of cases marked as "withheld." According to college authorities, many of these cases stem from missing records of previous results, while others involve students being incorrectly marked absent or failed in earlier examinations.#university_portal #nagpur_university #winter_2025_examinations #summer_2026_examinations #common_admission_process

True Greatness Lies In Serving Society & Nation: Ex-CJI Gavai Former Chief Justice of India Bhushan Gavai emphasized on Sunday that true greatness is defined by selfless service to society and the nation, not personal achievements. Speaking at a ceremony organized by Nagpur University to honor Padma Shri awardees from Vidarbha, Gavai drew inspiration from Dr. B.R. Ambedkar’s distinction between being "eminent" and "great." He highlighted that while individuals may attain distinction through personal success, those who dedicate their lives to societal welfare embody true greatness. Gavai praised the awardees for translating this philosophy into action, serving as role models for future generations. The event, held at Dr. Vasantrao Deshpande Hall in Civil Lines, was presided over by Vice-Chancellor Manali Kshirsagar. Attendees included university officials, academics, and notable figures such as pro VC Akhilesh Peshwe, Felicitation Committee Chairman Manmohan Vajpayee, and deans. Gavai urged students to embrace the spirit of giving back to society, urging them to channel their energies into nation-building. He cited the transformative journey of Gadchiroli, a district once plagued by Maoist insurgency, which has now experienced rapid development under the leadership of Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis. Among the awardees honored were Padma Shri Shankarbaba Papalkar, who has spent decades rehabilitating abandoned and differently abled children in Amravati’s Wazzar village; Dr. Chandrashekhar Meshram, Namdevrao Kamble, and Dr. Dhananjay Sagdeo, whose work with tribal communities in Kerala has spanned over four decades. Other recipients included Dr. Parshuram Khune, a pioneer of the Zhadipatti theatre movement; Dr.#devendra_fadnavis #nagpur_university #dr_br_ambedkar #bhushan_gavai #padma_shri_shankarbaba_papalkar

Nagpur University's Decline Sparks Alumni Appeal for Revival Former Maharashtra higher and technical education minister Anees Ahmed has raised urgent concerns over the deteriorating standards at Nagpur University (NU), calling on its esteemed alumni to intervene and restore the institution's former glory. During a visit to The Times of India office, Ahmed criticized the university's administrative failures, including delayed results, marksheet errors, and the outsourcing of its examination services to Hyderabad-based COEMPT under a Rs 5-crore contract. He argued that these issues have driven students to migrate to universities in Mumbai and Pune, exacerbating a brain drain from Vidarbha. Ahmed highlighted the university's historical significance, noting that it has produced notable figures such as former President Mohammad Hidayatullah, Prime Minister PV Narasimha Rao, and multiple Chief Justices of India. "It's unfortunate that an institution of such stature is witnessing a decline in academic standards and administrative efficiency," he said. He accused the Central and Maharashtra governments of failing to allocate sufficient funds for modern infrastructure, skilled manpower, and advanced courses to retain talent in the region. The former minister also addressed the university's placement challenges, alleging that top employers prefer graduates from Mumbai and Pune institutions. He cited the NEET paper leak scandal and the CBSE OSM row as precedents for systemic failures, questioning how NU could award a contract to COEMPT—a company previously banned by Telangana authorities for its "history of blunders.#nitin_gadkari #the_times_of_india #nagpur_university #coempt #anees_ahmed

Ravi Nagar Square Gridlocked As Pvt Buses, Food Stalls Clog Road A major traffic bottleneck has emerged at Ravi Nagar Square, a critical junction on Nagpur’s Amravati Road, as residents report persistent issues of illegal parking, roadside encroachments, and sanitation problems. The area has become a daily source of frustration for commuters, with private vehicles and buses parking along the roadside, reducing available space during peak hours. Local residents have accused authorities of failing to address the growing chaos, which has worsened over the past several months. Rajendra Deshmukh, a resident of the area, highlighted the situation, stating that private cars and buses are routinely parked next to the Ravi Nagar bus stop, causing traffic jams and financial losses for the MSRTC (Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation). “This problem has persisted for months, but authorities are yet to take any action,” Deshmukh said. He added that the encroachment has disrupted the flow of traffic, particularly during office and college hours, when students travel to the Nagpur University (NU) campus via the same route. The congestion is compounded by the presence of roadside food stalls and hawkers, which further obstruct pedestrian pathways. Kavita Shah, another resident, pointed out that the lack of proper sanitation facilities has led to open urination in the area, creating a foul smell and hygiene crisis. “Despite barricades and mesh fencing, people continue to urinate near eateries, and the stench is unbearable, especially during evenings,” she said. Pedestrians are forced to walk on the main carriageway, increasing the risk of accidents amid heavy traffic. Residents have also raised concerns about the safety of pedestrians.#nagpur_university #msrtc #ravi_nagar_square #nagpur_amravati_road #rajendra_deshmukh

Shocker! BTech 2nd & 5th Sem Exams Clash Confusion and frustration spread among BTech students in Nagpur after Nagpur University scheduled second and fifth semester examinations for all branches on the same day and at the same time on June 8. The clash forced several students with backlog subjects to choose between attending one exam or the other, sparking outrage over the university’s decision. According to affected students, many had pending papers from the second semester but were allowed to apply for fifth-semester exams. The university had collected fees for both semesters and issued hall tickets, leading students to believe they were eligible to appear for both. However, university officials clarified that under ATKT (Academic Transcript and Transfer) rules, students with second-semester backlogs are not permitted to take fifth-semester exams. On the day of the exam, students were instructed to submit written applications for re-examinations of fifth-semester papers. One student, who had paid Rs365 per subject, expressed disappointment, stating that they had struggled to clear earlier papers due to medical reasons. “The least the university could have done was to hold the exams in different time slots,” they said. Another student noted that multiple backlog exams were being held on the same day, forcing some to attend exams in the morning and afternoon. Academician Anand Sah criticized the university for failing to implement a system to verify eligibility. “They should refund the exam fees if they can’t schedule exams in different slots,” he said. “The university shouldn’t give hope to students only to shatter it at the last moment.” University exam officials admitted they lacked a system to cross-check whether students with failed semesters were applying for exams in higher semesters.#nagpur #nagpur_university #exam_schedule #bttech_students #anand_sah

NU Special Summer Exam for Final Year Students Eyeing PG Courses in National Institutes Nagpur University (NU) has initiated a special summer examination process for final-year students aiming to secure admission to postgraduate programs at national-level institutions. This marks the first time the university is organizing such exams during the summer session, typically reserved for athletes who compete in tournaments after winter examinations. The move aims to address scheduling conflicts between university exams and entrance tests for professional courses like MTech, MBA, and others conducted by institutions such as IIT, CUET, and various national universities. The university has directed all affected final-year students to submit their applications through their college principals to the director of the students’ welfare department. Officials emphasized that the entire process, including exam scheduling and result declaration, will be completed within 25 days, with results expected to be announced by July 5. This timeline is critical to ensure students do not miss admission deadlines for upcoming rounds, which have already begun in several cities. The initiative follows a previous directive from NU in May, which allowed students to skip university examinations if they clashed with entrance tests or admission processes. However, concerns arose when it was noted that students who appeared for their regular exams might not receive results in time for the admission rounds. Some national institutes have already opened their registration portals, prompting urgency in resolving the issue. Senate member Manmohan Bajpai raised the matter with Vice-Chancellor Manali Kshirsagar, who assured that special examinations would be organized promptly.#nagpur_university #manali_kshirsagar #manmohan_bajpai #iit #cuet

Nagpur University Cancels Exam Midway Amid Question Paper Mix-Up Nagpur University (NU) faced a major crisis on Thursday when it abruptly canceled the Bachelor of Commerce (BCom) fourth-semester examination after it began, due to a critical error in the question paper distribution. The incident, described as unprecedented in the university’s history, led to widespread confusion and frustration among students, exam centers, and officials. The exam, which started at 9:30 a.m., was halted within an hour after it was discovered that the question paper for the Fundamentals of Insurance subject contained questions from Fundamentals of Banking, a third-semester topic. The error was identified by NU’s exam section, which promptly announced a re-exam on June 10. Officials admitted the mistake was due to a paper setter’s oversight, as the title of the question paper was omitted for the majority of the sets. This led to the repetition of the same title across all paper sets, resulting in the incorrect distribution. Approximately 950 students out of the 10,000 BCom candidates who appeared for the exam received the wrong question paper, according to officials. Students and exam centers quickly raised concerns, with hundreds of students and several centers confronting officials over the mix-up. At one center, an examinee reported that invigilators initially told students that 160 had received the correct paper, while around 80 were given the banking-related questions. However, the students found none of the questions aligned with their syllabus or textbooks. They were instructed to submit written applications at the exam center and leave, though some were held back to attempt the same paper.#nagpur_university #bcom_students #fundamentals_of_insurance #fundamentals_of_banking #board_of_studies

Students Edgy As NU Summer Exams Face Scrutiny Over Repeated Errors A series of examination-related mishaps within a short span has sparked widespread concern over the Nagpur University (NU) summer examination process, with students and student organizations accusing the institution of poor coordination and inadequate safeguards. The incidents, which have left students anxious and questioning the credibility of the system, highlight recurring technical and administrative failures that have disrupted academic schedules and caused significant stress. The first incident occurred on June 2, when approximately 25 students from BSc Physics, Statistics, and Mathematics programs arrived at three designated examination centers—Dr Ambedkar College, Deekshabhoomi, and Annasaheb Gundewar College. Despite valid hall tickets indicating these locations, officials at the centers reported that the attendance sheet, which is typically provided a day in advance to ensure proper planning, was not generated. NU examination officials attributed the error to a technical glitch, stating that students were allowed to take the exam as their hall tickets were valid. However, students faced confusion and inconvenience, with attempts to contact officials reportedly met with unresponsiveness. The National Students Union of India (NSUI) criticized the lack of coordination between the university and college administrations, warning that such lapses could undermine the university’s credibility and harm students’ academic futures. The organization demanded an impartial inquiry and strict action against those responsible. A second incident emerged on May 30, involving the BA LLB Labour Law-II examination.#nagpur_university #akhil_bharatiya_vidyarthi_parishad #national_students_union_of_india #coempt #dr_ambedkar_college

COEMPT Shield Cracks as Former NU Exam Operator Testifies Data Transfer Was in 'Machine Readable' Format A significant development emerged during the ongoing inquiry into examination irregularities at Nagpur University (NU), where the controversial exam service provider, COEMPT EduTeck Pvt Ltd, faced scrutiny over its alleged role in the 2025 winter and summer examination disruptions. During a hearing before a three-member probe panel led by NU senate member Manmohan Bajpai, representatives of the former examination handler, Promarc Technologies Pvt Ltd, testified that student data for 3.17 lakh students was transferred to COEMPT through the university’s IT cell. This claim directly contradicts the NU administration’s earlier assertion that Promarc failed to provide data in the required format, leading to glitches in the exams. Promarc officials stated that data transfer occurred via multiple methods, including CDs, hard copies, soft copies, and email communications, all formatted in universal Excel sheets. They emphasized that the data was provided in a "machine readable format," which they argued should have been sufficient for COEMPT to process. Promarc’s representatives also challenged the university’s claim that the data transfer was incomplete, asserting that the IT cell’s responsibility was to verify the data before forwarding it to the new firm. The IT cell, however, maintained that it did not check the datasets, leaving the responsibility of data integrity with Promarc. The NU vice-chancellor, Manali Kshirsagar, acknowledged the claims but noted that the statements made before the inquiry panel require technical verification by the university’s IT cell and experts.#nagpur_university #manali_kshirsagar #manmohan_bajpai #coempt_eduteck_pvt_ltd #promarc_technologies_pvt_ltd

Tender Rigging Allegations Emerge in Nagpur University Contract Probe Nagpur University is under scrutiny for alleged tender rigging and mismanagement of exams after a probe panel launched an investigation into the controversial contract awarded to Coempt Eduteck Pvt Ltd, a Hyderabad-based firm linked to the CBSE’s on-screen marking controversy. The inquiry focuses on whether eligibility norms were manipulated to favor the company, which was granted a Rs 5-crore, three-year contract to manage exams and results. The panel is examining claims that technical requirements were altered to create an uneven playing field, despite allegations that the firm, previously known as Globarena Technologies, had faced blacklisting by institutions in southern India. Key changes under review include a reduction in the minimum experience requirement for handling exams from three lakh students to two lakh, a halving of the digital valuation centers needed from 200 screens to 100, and a fivefold increase in the minimum annual turnover from Rs 5 crore to Rs 25 crore. A senior panel member questioned the university’s justification for these adjustments, pointing out that the institution lacked its own server infrastructure or data center, raising doubts about its ability to manage results for over three lakh students. “Why would results of over three lakh students get botched up if the university had the capacity to handle such a workload?” the member asked, highlighting inconsistencies in the university’s rationale. The tender process faced legal challenges when former exam contractor Promarc Software Pvt Ltd contested the revised eligibility criteria in court, arguing the changes were crafted to exclude competitors.#hyderabad #cbse #bombay_high_court #nagpur_university #coempt_eduteck_pvt_ltd

Nagpur University Revises NEP Course Structure Within a Year of Implementation Nagpur University has revised the course structure introduced under the National Education Policy (NEP) for the 2024–25 academic session. Vice-chancellor Manali Kshirsagar confirmed that a circular detailing the changes will be issued on Wednesday. Under the revised framework approved by the Academic Council, students will study three subjects in the first year (Semesters I and II), choose a major and minor in the second year (Semesters III and IV), and continue only with the major from the third year (Semester V onwards). The model is referred to as the "3-2-1 formula." Students will also have the option of pursuing a four-year bachelor's honours degree or a research-oriented degree, which would make them eligible for direct admission to PhD programmes without a master's degree. Under the earlier NEP structure implemented last year, students were required to choose their major subject in the first semester. University officials said many students struggled to make this decision immediately after Class XII, prompting the revision. Other changes include a 60:40 theory-practical evaluation ratio and the introduction of an Indian Knowledge System elective. Officials indicated that such revisions are expected to continue in phases over the coming years, as directed by the state government. They also noted that the earlier structure risked creating staff imbalances across departments. However, the sudden revision has drawn criticism from sections of the academic community. Faculty members argued that at least one batch should have been allowed to complete the existing pattern before introducing further changes.#academic_council #nagpur_university #manali_kshirsagar #national_education_policy #nepr_implementation

NU’s meagre cooler payout makes exam centres feel the heat Nagpur: As a severe heatwave grips Nagpur and surrounding districts, colleges serving as examination centres under Nagpur University (NU) have voiced strong criticism against the university’s reimbursement rates for coolers installed in exam halls. The latest directive from the university’s examination and evaluation board mandates that centres provide cooling facilities for students, yet the approved reimbursement amounts have been deemed insufficient by college authorities. The university’s circular outlines reimbursement rates of 633.70, 918.54, and 1,216.70 rupees per month, depending on the size of the desert coolers. However, college principals and management representatives argue that these figures are far below the actual rental costs, which exceed 2,000 rupees per month during the summer season. They further highlight that the reimbursement does not account for additional expenses such as transportation, installation, electricity, water supply, and maintenance—costs that surge significantly during peak summer conditions. Colleges have expressed frustration over the financial burden, noting that despite soaring temperatures, institutions are forced to cover most of the costs to ensure minimal comfort for students. The university’s recent announcement allowing exam centres to use advances from the varsity, with subsequent bill submissions, has not alleviated the situation. The heatwave, which has persisted for over a week, has intensified the challenges. University exams are scheduled in the afternoon, from 2.30 pm to 5.30 pm, a time when temperatures are at their peak. Students have taken to social media to voice their grievances, citing inadequate facilities and the stress of enduring uncomfortable conditions during exams.#nagpur #exam_centres #heatwave #nagpur_university #coolers

Allot Exam Centres Within 2-Km Radius: Senate Member Urges Nagpur University to Prioritize Student Comfort Nagpur University (NU) Senate member Manmohan Bajpai has called on the university administration to allocate examination centres within a 2-km radius of students’ colleges to mitigate travel challenges amid an ongoing heatwave in Vidarbha. In a letter addressed to the vice-chancellor on Wednesday, Bajpai highlighted the extreme temperatures and referenced Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s appeal for fuel conservation, urging the university to assign exams either at students’ own colleges or nearby institutions. He emphasized that centres located beyond a 2-km radius should be avoided, particularly for exams yet to commence, and requested immediate action for students facing such assignments. Bajpai also demanded that the university conduct a thorough verification of essential facilities at all designated examination venues. He listed critical amenities required, including clean drinking water, functioning fans, hygienic washrooms, adequate lighting, proper desks and benches, and free parking. According to him, several students have been reportedly assigned distant centres despite the availability of closer alternatives. Additionally, he cited complaints about inadequate facilities at certain venues, stressing that providing relief from extreme heat and ensuring fuel conservation should be the university’s top priority. The Senate member urged the administration to issue clear directives and offer immediate support to students, emphasizing the need to balance academic responsibilities with the health and safety of students during the severe weather conditions.#prime_minister_narendra_modi #nagpur_university #vidarbha #manmohan_bajpai #nagpur_university_senate

BJYM Activists Vandalize Nagpur University Building During Protest Over Exam Disputes A group of activists from the Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM), the youth wing of the BJP, along with several students, allegedly vandalized the Jamnalal Bajaj Administrative Building of Nagpur University near Ambazari Bypass on Tuesday. The protest, which erupted over issues related to the Summer 2026 examinations and alleged discrepancies in the Winter 2025 results, left a trail of destruction. The nameplate outside the office of vice-chancellor Manali Kshirsagar was smashed, and 22 flower pots placed in the corridor outside her cabin were damaged. The incident occurred shortly after Kshirsagar arrived at the office, prompting personnel from the Ambazari police station to detain the protesters and take them to the police station. Later, senate member Vishnu Chandge and BJP general secretaries Shrikant Aglawe and Ritesh Gavande retrieved the protesters and brought them back to the university campus. Kshirsagar informed the delegation that issues related to the Winter examinations had been resolved, and the university was taking measures to ensure the smooth conduct of the Summer examinations. BJYM city president Sachin Karare expressed regret over the incident, stating that the vandalism began after one of the nearly 20 students accompanying the delegation lost his temper. "The student was seeking correction in his results for the past two years," Karare said. "When the VC arrived, she allegedly refused to entertain our pleas. This angered the students, and one of them became aggressive. The staff then locked the doors, which further provoked some of our workers," he added. Kshirsagar refuted the allegations, asserting that the protesters prevented her from entering her office.#nagpur_university #manali_kshirsagar #bjym #vishnu_chandge #shrikant_aglawe

Dharampeth Science College Principal Appointed as Nagpur University Pro-Vice Chancellor Nagpur University (NU) finally appointed Akhilesh Peshwe as its full-time pro-vice chancellor on Monday, ending a months-long delay. The post had remained vacant since September 2024, during which time pharmaceutical sciences professor Rajendra Kakde and physics professor Subhash Kondawar served as interim pro-vice chancellors under acting vice chancellors Prashant Bokare and Madhavi Chawre, who also held additional responsibilities. The appointment followed approval from the university’s management council, with Vice Chancellor Manali Kshirsagar overseeing the process after she assumed office in December 2025. Kshirsagar emphasized that the selection required a thorough evaluation of candidates’ academic merit and performance in their current roles. She noted that the process could have been expedited if the candidate had an engineering background, which she preferred, but the need for careful assessment delayed the decision. The university had to choose from over 35 candidates proposed by academic and political groups, reflecting the complexity of the selection process. Peshwe’s appointment has been viewed as a strategic move, given his extensive academic experience and familiarity with traditional university systems. This comes at a critical time for NU, which is facing challenges related to examination management and the conduct of summer exams. Peshwe, an English literature academic with over 30 years of teaching experience, has been principal of Dharampeth Science College since 2016. He stated his focus would be on implementing the vice chancellor’s vision and streamlining the examination system to address the university’s current issues.#nagpur_university #manali_kshirsagar #akhilesh_peshwe #dharampeth_science_college #rajendra_kakde

Nagpur University Students Face Chaos Over Exam Corrections and Last-Minute Hall Tickets Students at Nagpur University are grappling with significant stress as the winter examination season unfolds amid delays in result corrections and the last-minute distribution of hall tickets. The situation has created widespread anxiety, with many students receiving their exam details only hours before the start of the Summer examinations. This has left them scrambling to confirm their allotted centres and seating arrangements, raising concerns about their ability to attend papers on time. A student described the chaos, stating, "We received our hall tickets just a few hours before the exam in the afternoon shift. We came to know our exam centre only then. I was anxious if I would be able to reach my centre in time or not. Many of my classmates too face similar issues." An outstation student added, "My exams are starting this week. Our college clerk said like other courses, our hall tickets too would come on the day of the exam and asked us to visit college and then go to the exam centre. What if my centre is far off from my college?" The delays in exam corrections have further compounded the problem. Many students are still rushing between colleges and exam sections to seek revisions in their Winter Exam 2025 marksheets, which contain errors in marks, subjects, names, and result statuses. The results were announced two weeks ago, but the revision process remains pending for numerous students, leaving them unable to focus on their studies effectively. University officials acknowledged the challenges, noting that colleges are now submitting exam forms after being issued stern warnings about late fees. A senior official explained, "Colleges didn't take updates as they were mostly shut in April.#students #nagpur_university #exam_corrections #hall_tickets #university_officials
