NU academic calendar revised but mum on summer exam start Nagpur University (NU) has partially revised its academic calendar for the 2025-26 session following concerns raised by Senate member Manmohan Bajpai about ambiguities in the schedule. The changes, outlined in a corrigendum, were approved by the Academic Council during a meeting on March 7. However, the revised calendar does not specify key details such as the start dates for summer exams, the second term, or the new academic session. Under the updated schedule, the second term for even semesters and annual pattern courses, which began on November 10, 2025, will now end on April 30, 2026—a 15-day extension from the original April 15, 2026, deadline. This adjustment has pushed back the summer vacation, which is now scheduled from May 1 to June 15. Despite these changes, the university has not provided clarity on the start of summer exams, which the corrigendum implies may have already begun. Senate members and faculty from affiliated colleges have criticized the lack of transparency. They questioned why the document was labeled a "corrigendum" instead of a comprehensive revision, suggesting the university could have addressed all scheduling issues in one go. The revised calendar’s silence on summer exam dates has raised doubts about whether the original schedule is still in effect. Faculty members noted that the second term did not actually start on November 10, as delayed winter exams continued until February, calling the revision a "major blunder." Bajpai, who raised the concerns, demanded a new notification detailing the academic schedule. He emphasized that the absence of summer exam start dates leaves students unable to plan their futures effectively.#academic_council #nagpur_university #manmohan_bajpai #summer_exams #senate_members
