The latest notice by the BCU comes just a few hours after the university issued a letter wherein it revised the timing for B.Com exam scheduled for December 16 from 9:30 AM to 2 PM which directly overlapped with the Chartered Accountant (CA) examination which also starts from 2 PM on the same day.

The change in timing had reportedly put candidates in a difficult position, news agency PTI had reported.

The report quoted BJP MLA S Suresh Kumar who said that a first-year B Com student approached him on Wednesday with her father, distressed over the sudden change.

“Her first B Com exam was originally scheduled for Thursday at 9:30 am. Since she is also pursuing a CA qualification, her CA exam is set for 2 pm the same day,” PTI quoted Kumar as saying.

He further added that at 4.30 pm on Wednesday the student received a message from Bangalore City University on her mobile which stated that the exam scheduled for 9.30 am on Thursday has been postponed to 2 pm.

As per Kumar, he immediately contacted the state’s Higher Education Minister, Dr M C Sudhakar, and requested a resolution to the issue from the student’s perspective.

The MLA also pointed out that postponing an exam just 24 hours before it was scheduled without proper consideration reflected poorly on the university’s credibility.
