BRSV leader urges Osmania University to reschedule exams falling on Bakrid
BRSV GHMC Coordinator Mir Qurram Ali has urged the Telangana government to direct Osmania University to reschedule degree examinations falling on Eid-ul-Adha. He termed the move insensitive and warned of protests if students’ concerns were ignored by authorities.
Hyderabad: Taking exception to Osmania University’s decision to conduct multiple degree examinations on May 28, the day of Eid-ul-Adha (Bakrid), BRSV GHMC Coordinator, Mir Qurram Ali appealed to Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy to intervene immediately and direct the University to reschedule the examinations to a suitable alternative date.
Qurram Ali condemned the scheduling of examinations on the festival day and demanded immediate intervention from the government and university authorities. Conducting exams on Eid was “completely insensitive towards the religious sentiments and mental well-being of thousands of students,” he said in a statement.
He questioned how students could be expected to balance important examinations with religious obligations, family gatherings, prayers, and festival observances.
The examinations currently scheduled on May 28 include BCom 4th Semester – Business Statistics, BCom 6th Semester – Accounting Standards & Corporate Governance, BSc Honours 4th Semester – Computer Science (Big Data), BSc Honours 6th Semester – Optimization Techniques, BSc Biomedical Science 4th Semester, BA (CBCS) 6th Semester – Mathematics and BSW (CBCS) 4th Semester – Social Work Methodology III, he said.
Qurram Ali warned that if the concerns of students continue to be ignored, widespread protests and student demonstrations could take place across Telangana.
