The university said the decision was taken to ensure the safety of students, faculty members, and examination staff as the city continues to witness intense monsoon conditions. A revised examination timetable will be announced shortly on the university's official website.
In an official circular issued on July 5, 2026, the university stated that all examinations planned for July 6, 2026, have been deferred in view of the IMD's forecast of heavy to very heavy rainfall and the possibility of extremely heavy showers in some areas.
