In response to significant protests led by the National Students’ Union of India (NSUI) and Youth Congress, Savitribai Phule Pune University (SPPU) has postponed its undergraduate engineering examinations that were scheduled to commence on May 20. The protests, which saw nearly 700 students gather on campus, were fueled by concerns over exam scheduling, unresolved academic issues, and the need for adherence to a recent interim relief order from the Bombay High Court. This court ruling allowed students who were admitted under the controversial 'carry on' policy to fill out examination forms and participate in upcoming exams. Youth Congress media department president Akshay Jain expressed that students were experiencing severe mental stress due to the lack of preparation time and ongoing confusion regarding result re-evaluations. Following the protests, SPPU announced revised examination dates: second-year exams will now occur after June 11, third-year exams after June 17, and final-year exams after June 15. The university has committed to issuing detailed revised timetables on its official website.
