Coment from Abhishek Girish [ From BMSCE, Dec 4th, Comment #33]

Good Day,
My friend visited VTU, Belgaum today. He talked to the special officer , Exam section. When he enquired about the Dec 27th exam, he confirmed the rumours, but said that he himself is waiting for official information. [ God knows from whom!]
The elections are on 27th Dec as per current news - I guess exams need to be postponed - they don have a choice !
But, as others have said before, its “VTU”, so lets not be too hopeful, nor too tensed

This is very obnoxious of VTU to not inform the students or the colleges regarding the changes in the time table. The first exam being less than 15 days away. We have tried all our sources but in vain, no one seems to be 100 percent accurate. So VTU Alerts team has decided to call colleges instead to find out what they know. Here is what some colleges told us.

KLE : They have announced the exam has been postponed, and have put up a circular on the notice board.

DSI : They have not announced it or got any circular, but they believe the exam will be postponed since the election date is confirmed and they have also added that if an exam is postponed it will be postponed 10 to 15 days after the last exam.

VIT : Exam is postponed to Jan 15th.

T Jhon : Denies that the exam on 27th being postponed and is asking its students to prepare for the 27th. When we asked them whether they would confirm that exam is definately not postponed, they refused to do so.

YDIT : “99 percent confirmed. One percent doubt sir” is the reply we got.

CITY : ” Not a holiday” and then he rudely hung up.

Here is the news reports from yahoo which says that the elections are scheduled for DEC 27th. CLICK HERE TO READ ARTICLE. It seems to be likely that exams will be postponed.

We strongly urge all the readers to push your college administration to clarify this. We will not tolerate such inefficiency when it comes to something as serious as examinations. If you belong to one of the colleges listed above or anyother college, please comment our views and what your college is telling you. We shall be updating this post and listing what more college have to say.

Many vtualerts users have asked queries regarding the postponement of the exam which will be held on 27/12/2008. This date coincides with the election date. We are still awaiting word from officials. We understand your concern and have talked to the vtu EDP department and inquired, they too seem to be waiting for a circular from higher authorities. This delay of information can be frustrating but there is little we can do.
