Ahmedabad: GTU postpones May 28 exam after Eid-ul-Zuha holiday shift

Ahmedabad: Gujarat Technological University (GTU) has postponed the examination scheduled for May 28 after the state govt declared a public holiday on account of Eid-ul-Zuha. The university said it will announce a revised date for the examination at a later stage.

Earlier, the state govt had declared May 27 as a public holiday for Eid-ul-Zuha, and accordingly, GTU scheduled its ongoing diploma Semester-4 examinations. The exam originally planned for May 27 was then shifted to May 28. However, following fresh representations from diploma college associations and various groups, the govt later revised the holiday to May 28.

After this change, GTU postponed the examination that was planned for that day. University officials said the exam will now be conducted on an alternative date, most likely on a vacant day within the ongoing examination schedule.

The diploma Semester-4 examinations are currently underway across affiliated colleges. Students and institutions had raised concerns about holding exams on a public holiday, prompting authorities to reconsider the schedule.

GTU assured students that the revised timetable will be announced soon, and sufficient notice will be provided to ensure smooth conduct of the examination process without causing inconvenience to candidates.
