Indore (Madhya Pradesh): Devi Ahilya Vishwavidyalaya, which had previously announced that exams won’t be cancelled even if a holiday was declared by the state government, has now postponed all papers scheduled for April 3 following Mahaveer Jayanti being announced as a holiday.
The postponement comes a day after the state government declared a holiday on April 3 citing Mahaveer Jayanti.
Earlier, the holiday was on April 4 which now stands cancelled.
On Monday, the general administration department had issued a letter to all government departments that Mahaveer Jayanti is actually falling on April 3 so it will be a holiday that day.
Citing the government order, the DAVV cancelled all exams including that of BA, BCom, BSc, MBA, MSc etc scheduled on April 3.
