The SFI had recently submitted a memorandum to university authorities, calling for the postponement of the dates of entrance examinations.

According to activists of the student body, several students were set to appear for their undergraduate exams till May 20 and, therefore, were in a dilemma over whether they should appear in their undergraduate exams or the entrance exams.
