Universities across the state have been requested to decide a date to schedule the postponed examinations. Around 20,000 varsity students have been affected by the decision and a final call is essential to give clarity to this lot.

Besides them, the city will also shutter down to ensure no traffic congestion in the city on the day of the exam. All markets will be closed on Sunday. Only shops selling essential commodities like vegetables, dairy, medical and groceries are exempted from this protocol.

REET Candidates can avail free of cost travel
