Jamia Millia Islamia Shifts Exams Online Amid Campus Unrest

Jamia Millia Islamia has announced that its end-semester examinations will be conducted online. Additionally, online classes have been extended until November 24, reflecting ongoing concerns over the campus situation and student safety.

The university's decision, detailed in an office order from October 28, follows a meeting of deans and department heads who assessed the academic environment. This move aims to ensure academic continuity amidst a prolonged standoff.

Teaching for odd-semester examinations will conclude on November 24. Subsequent practicals and viva examinations are scheduled online from November 25 to November 30. The main theory examinations will take place online between December 1 and December 24.

This adjustment comes amid significant student protests demanding the restoration of the Jamia Millia Islamia Students' Union and the announcement of election schedules. The university had previously ordered online classes until November 8.

Following the examination period, a winter vacation is planned from December 25 to January 12, 2027. Even-semester classes are slated to commence on January 13, 2027, indicating a shift in the academic calendar.

The registrar has directed all academic heads to ensure the smooth execution of these online arrangements for classes and examinations.
