Hyderabad: Students of post-graduate science streams of Osmania University have been protesting for the last few days demanding the administration to postpone their semester exams.
The students are worried about the semester exams scheduled between February 16 and February 26 clash with the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) and National Eligibility Test (NET- 2025 II) scheduled on February 19.
The students held protests at the administration office demanding the resignation of the vice-chancellor accusing him of being negligent towards their issues. They have already submitted a request to the Comptroller of Examinations seeking the postponement of their semester exams, which was not accepted.
According to some professors, the syllabus is not yet completed but the administration plans to complete the academic year early and on schedule.
