Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam Technical University (AKTU) has postponed the Phase 2 final exams for odd semesters, which were originally scheduled to be held in February 2025. The university has released an official notice on its website, aktu.ac.in, regarding the postponement.
Original Exam Schedule
According to the earlier notification, the written examinations for regular and carryover subjects of undergraduate and postgraduate courses under the odd semester (Phase 2) were set to take place between February 18, 2025, and March 11, 2025.
Reason for Postponement
The decision to postpone the exams was made due to major transportation disruptions expected in the Prayagraj and Varanasi districts. These disruptions are due to the Mahakumbh Mela and Mahashivratri festival, which will lead to significant roadblocks and changes in traffic arrangements.
Challenges Faced by Students
Many students and institutions raised concerns about the inconvenience caused by the restricted movement during the festival period. As a result, the university considered the difficulties faced by students in reaching examination centers and decided to reschedule the exams.
Revised Exam Schedule
The university has now finalized the new exam dates, and the odd semester Phase 2 written exams will be conducted between February 28, 2025, and March 22, 2025.
Practical and Project Examinations
In addition to the written exams, practical and project examinations will be held from February 20, 2025, to February 27, 2025.
Official Notification and Updates
AKTU has issued a revised and final timetable for the exams, ensuring that students have clarity about their examination dates. The detailed schedule has been published on the official university website.
University’s Commitment to Students
The decision reflects AKTU's commitment to maintaining the integrity of the examination process while minimizing inconvenience for students during major regional events.
Advice for Students
Students are encouraged to use this extra time effectively to prepare for their exams. They should stay updated with any further announcements by regularly checking the official website.
Checking the New Exam Timetable
All candidates must verify the updated exam timetable on the AKTU website before appearing for the exams. This will help them stay informed about any last-minute changes.
Impact of Mahakumbh and Mahashivratri on Exams
The Mahakumbh Mela is a significant event that attracts millions of visitors, leading to traffic diversions and increased congestion. Similarly, Mahashivratri is a major Hindu festival celebrated across India, particularly in Uttar Pradesh, causing road closures and transport restrictions.
Student Reactions to the Postponement
Many students have welcomed the decision, as it provides additional preparation time and reduces the stress of traveling during a busy festival period. However, some students expressed concerns about the extended academic calendar.
University's Response to Concerns
AKTU has assured students that the revised schedule has been carefully planned to ensure minimal disruption to the academic calendar. The university is also working to ensure that students receive timely updates about any further changes.
Final Reminder for Students
Candidates appearing for the exams should frequently check the official website and prepare accordingly. Any updates or notifications regarding the exams will be published online. Students are advised to download and print the final timetable for reference.
