Students Oppose Holding Exams During Dasara Time
The college said it will move the October 19 and 22 exams after students protested during Dasara and boycotted the tests.
- Hundreds of students at Agnes College in Mangaluru staged a protest on Monday, boycotting semester examinations scheduled during the Dasara festival.
- College principal Venissa circulated a draft timetable 15 days before final publication on September 26, providing students time to raise objections, but no changes were requested during the review period.
- Backed by the RSS-affiliated Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad, students and North BJP MLA Bharat Shetty demanded rescheduling, questioning why the college grants a Christmas holiday but not one for Dasara.
- College Registrar and Controller of Examinations Shubharekha announced that semester tests originally scheduled for Oct 19 and 22 would be postponed, prompting students to withdraw the protest.
- Shubharekha noted that further rescheduling remains difficult because the college internship and 10-day National Service Scheme camp are scheduled to begin November 2, constraining remaining exam dates.
