In an embarrassing development, Gulbarga University abruptly cancelled the third semester examination on Sunday after the examination started as it was found that the question paper was of the old syllabus.
On Sunday afternoon, the examination of Corporate Accounting subject of the third semester of Bachelor of Commerce course had begun as scheduled at the examination centre on the university campus.
The students had occupied their seats and invigilators had collected signatures of students and issued them answer sheets. But much to the shock of the invigilators, when the packets of question papers were opened, instead of question papers based on NEP (New Education Policy), they found question papers of the old curriculum.
