Mangaluru, Sep 20: In the wake of the heavy rains lashing Dakshina Kannada and Udupi districts, Mangalore University has decided to postpone the ongoing degree and postgraduate exams.
University's registrar (exams) Dr P L Dharma announced the postponement of exams on Sunday September 20.
Due to the heavy rains in Dakshina Kannada and Udupi districts, the exams that were supposed to be held on Monday September 21 will be postponed.
Decision on the exams scheduled for Tuesday Septmeber 22 will be taken on Monday, he said.
Normal life has been thrown out of gear due to the rains in the two districts. Low-lying areas have been inundated and there is waterlogging in several areas. Access roads and even main roads have been cut off, affecting movement of traffic. Due to this, it would be impossible for students to attend exams, hence the decision to postpone.
The new date for the exams will be announced later, Dr Dharma said.
