Really! Jabalpur University ‘forgets’ to take exam after issuing admit cards

Chaos erupted in Madhya Pradesh’s Jabalpur Rani Durgavati University when it forgot to conduct the exam after announcing the date sheet. According to the information, the university failed to conduct the MSc Computer Science first semester paper which was scheduled on March 5, 2024, despite issuing the admit cards to the students. 

Soon after the incident, an uproar was caused when students demanded to meet the Vice Chancellor.

Furthermore, the university has also released the timetable for MSc Chemistry Third Semester, Computer Science First Semester, and Computer Science Third Semester 2023-24 on February 14, 2024. The examinations of all three courses were scheduled to be held from February 21 to March 13 from 8 am to 11 am.

Here are the key points of the incident:

• The university released the exam schedule and admit cards for the first-semester MSc Computer Science exam approximately 20 days before March 5.
• Students arrived at the university on the designated exam date, only to be informed that the exam wouldn't take place.
• The university reportedly hadn't prepared question papers or made other necessary arrangements for the exam.
• This incident caused confusion and frustration among students, many of whom had dedicated significant time and effort to preparing for the exam.
• The university has launched an inquiry to investigate the matter and has promised to take action against those responsible.
• Meanwhile, the vice chancellor Dr Rajesh Kumar Verma immediately released the new schedule for the exams and ordered a probe into the miscommunication.
