The University of Calicut has decided to conduct exams for students at the study centres in Lakshadweep even though the administration there owes around ₹2.5 crore to the institution.
According to sources, students at the study centres were worried as the exams for fourth semester postgraduate courses, the practical exams for final semester M.Sc. (Aquaculture) and final semester B.Sc. (Aquaculture) courses, related academic projects, and viva voce exams are yet to be held. There was uncertainty over practical exams for third semester and final semester B.Ed courses too.
A senior official at the university told The Hindu on Thursday that the exams would be held soon, and that the registration link would be available in the coming days. The students had been asked to remit fees, he added.
