The court was hearing a petition by a trust ‘Abdul Kalam Vision, seeking to quash the revised timetable. The University informed the Court that it is postponing the first semester exams for first year engineering courses.

The GP further submitted that the postponement would be applicable to colleges located in these four districts. When the petition by Abdul Kalam Vision came up earlier in the day, the bench directed the GP to get the instructions and submit it.

He did so and furnished details of postponement in the evening, after which the bench directed him to publish all details in the site and furnish details tomorrow to the Court. S Kumar, trustee of Abdul Kalam Vision India Trust, made a mention before the bench earlier to order postponement of the exams scheduled to commence from December 15.

He submitted that students in affected areas could not prepare themselves for the exam in view of the unprecedented rains and floods. Moreover, the first year students, who have come straight from the schools, were going to experience the University exam for the first time and they should not be put into an uncomfortable situation and the same should not create panic in them, he submitted.
