Post-graduate students on Mangalore University campus staged a protest in front of the administrative building on Wednesday against the university again postponing the odd semester examinations of the academic year 2020-21 scheduled to begin on Thursday on an instruction by Deputy Commissioner of Dakshina Kannada K.V. Rajendra. The students, led by the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP), said that it is not fair to have postponed the examinations citing as reason a rise in COVID-19 cases and fearing that it is being spread from Kerala. They demanded that the examinations should be conducted as scheduled. The students said that many students have arrived to join hostels on campus from far-off places. There is no clarity when the examinations will be rescheduled again. They are caught in a Catch 22 situation not able to return to their houses without clarity on the next date of examinations.More Related News
