Meanwhile, the CET-2026 conflict has triggered a second round of exam reschedules at the university. In a separate circular issued the same day, the university announced date changes for Semester 6 examinations across a wider set of programmes, including self-finance courses.
The sem 6 exams, originally set to begin April 1 and April 8, 2026, have been pushed to April 9 and April 16, respectively. The list of affected programmes runs across all major faculties — Commerce, Science, and Arts.
All BCom variants — including Financial Markets, Banking and Insurance, Accounting and Finance, Investment Management, Financial Management, Transport Management, and Environmental Management and Economics — along with BMS and BCom (CDOE), have had their start date moved from April 1 to April 9.
