KTU to conduct exams as per schedule from Thursday
The Kerala High Court order permitting APJ Abdul Kalam Technological University (KTU) to continue the ongoing examinations in offline mode has come as a relief for large sections of the academic community. In the wake of the order, the university has decided to conduct the examinations in accordance with the schedule from Thursday onwards. The revised date of the examinations postponed on Wednesday will be announced later. Tuesday’s single bench order to cancel the examinations appeared to push the odd-semester examinations into uncertainty after reaching the halfway stage. Notably, the minor disruption came after the BTech examinations witnessed an average attendance of around 92%, except on the day of a Statewide agitation by the Kerala Students Union, when participation was 73%.More Related News

The clarification follows controversy over the “100-metre” criterion used to define hills across states.
