Osmania University exams postponed on Dec 8 in view of Bharat Bandh

Osmania and Jawaharlal Nehru Technical Universities (JNTU) on Monday announced that exams scheduled for December 8 will be postponed to later dates owing to the Bharat Bandh.

Osmania University, which was to have the common postgraduate entrance tests (CPGET-2020) on December 8, has also postponed the exam to a yet undecided date. The new exam date will be made available on the CPGET-2020 website.

The exams have been postponed owing to the nationwide farmer protest against the three agricultural laws that were passed by the Union government. The University expects the Bharat Bandh will



disrupt transport services, impacting students’ commute. The Telangana State Road Transport Corporation (TRSTC) bus services will be impacted for the day of the Bharat Bandh until noon.

The Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao had on Saturday issued a statement extending the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) party’s support towards the farmers’ cause. KCR had appealed to his party workers and also the public to support the farmers’ protest. Farmer associations say the three new acts are not in the best interest of farmers and favours agricultural food businesses owned by corporate firms.
