Total Clarity on Exam Timetable, Affirms NU VC Nagpur: Vice-Chancellor Manali Kshirsagar on Tuesday dismissed confusion over Nagpur University's examination schedule, asserting that there is "absolute clarity" on the conduct of supplementary and summer exams. She emphasized that timetables are being released in a phased manner, directly linked to the declaration of results. According to Kshirsagar, supplementary practical examinations will commence on April 15, while summer theory exams are scheduled for May 2, as per the revised academic calendar. The vice-chancellor clarified that the process is straightforward, with supplementary exams starting on April 15 and summer theory exams beginning on May 2. She explained that timetables are prepared and released logically alongside results, ensuring students receive adequate preparation time. "Students will get a preparation time of 15 to 20 days after their results," Kshirsagar stated. Kshirsagar also addressed the application process for exams, noting that students whose results have already been declared were allowed to fill exam forms from March 23. For those awaiting results, she confirmed that they will be given a week to apply once the results are officially announced. "We cannot declare incomplete results. Accuracy is very critical and crucial, especially when handling thousands of entries from hard-copy records," she emphasized. The VC highlighted the importance of maintaining precision in result declarations, particularly given the volume of entries involved. She reiterated that the phased release of timetables ensures transparency and minimizes confusion among students. This approach allows for a structured timeline, balancing the need for timely exam conduct with the necessity of accurate result verification.#nagpur_university #manali_kshirsagar #summer_exams #supplementary_exams #academic_calendar
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
