Nagpur University has officially announced a major rescheduling of its upcoming winter examinations. The decision comes after the original exam dates were found to be clashing with the Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC) elections. The university has now shifted the entire examination window to run from January 17 to January 30, 2026.
Revised Timetable and Official Communication
The university's examination section has published the corrected schedule on its official website. Deputy registrar Manish Zodpe, who heads the examination section, has formally urged all students to take immediate note of these critical changes. He has also advised students to regularly monitor the university's website for any further updates and to reach out to examination department officials directly if they require additional clarification.
Official communication regarding the revised dates has been dispatched to all principals, centre superintendents, affiliated colleges, and the designated examination centres. The Examination and Evaluation Board has directed these authorities to ensure that every student is properly informed about the new schedule to avoid any confusion.
Exams Postponed and Affected Programs
The rescheduling was necessitated specifically for the written papers that were originally slated for January 14, 15, and 16, 2026. These dates directly conflicted with the civic polls and have consequently been cancelled. As per the new plan, these examinations will be conducted according to the revised timetable. Importantly, they will be held at the previously allotted examination centres and during the same time slots mentioned in the original schedule.
The change impacts a wide range of undergraduate and postgraduate programmes. Students from the following courses must pay close attention:
- BSc (Home Science) 3rd Semester (Old) and 5th Semester
- BSc (Forensic Science) 3rd Semester (Old) and 5th Semester
- BSc 3rd Semester (NEP and Old) and BSc 5th Semester
- BSc Information Technology 3rd Semester (Old) and 5th Semester
- Bachelor of Computer Application (BCA) 3rd Semester (Old) and 5th Semester
- BCom (OB and CBCS) 5th Semester and BCom (Old) 5th Semester
- BA 3rd Semester (NEP, CBCS and Old) and BA 5th Semester (CBCS and Old)
- BA (Rural Service) 3rd Semester (NEP and Old) and 5th Semester
- MCA 3rd Semester (New, Old and CBCS)
- Master of Fine Arts 3rd Semester (CBCS–NEP)
- Master of Social Work 3rd Semester (CBCS–NEP and Old)
Key Takeaways for Students
This proactive move by Nagpur University aims to ensure that students are not forced to choose between exercising their democratic right to vote and appearing for their crucial academic evaluations. By moving the exams to a later period, the university has provided a clear window for both events. The primary action point for all affected students is to immediately access and download the revised timetable from the university's official portal and plan their preparation accordingly. They should also confirm their examination centre details, which remain unchanged.
