BCU defers Jan 16 first-sem UG exams indefinitely hours after issuing revised timings, cites ‘unavoidable reasons’

The Bengaluru City University, BCU, has postponed examinations for all first semester undergraduate degree courses scheduled for Thursday, January 16, 2025, without mentioning a revised date, citing unavoidable reasons. The Bengaluru City University said that a new date for the postponed UG exams will be announced shortly. The latest notice by the BCU comes just a few hours after the university issued a letter wherein it revised the timing for B.Com exam scheduled for December 16 from 9:30 AM to 2 PM which directly overlapped with the Chartered Accountant examination which also starts from 2 PM on the same day. The MLA also pointed out that postponing an exam just 24 hours before it was scheduled without proper consideration reflected poorly on the university's credibility.
