University defers exams due to weather

The information was shared by the varsity in a statement on Sunday. The varsity has informed that fresh date for these examinations will be issued later.

The examination will now be held on December 21.

According to a notification issued by the Controller of Examinations, SSB, the timings for the examinations, examination venues and shifts of the examinations shall remain same. Besides, admit cards already issued will remain valid for these examinations.
