Nagpur University (NU) faced significant backlash after it canceled the Bachelor of Commerce (BCom) fourth-semester examination midway due to a critical error in the question paper. The exam commenced on Thursday morning, but students discovered they were given a paper on Fundamentals of Banking instead of the correct subject, Fundamentals of Insurance. This led to widespread confusion and uproar across various exam centers, with around 950 students affected out of more than 10,000. NU officials acknowledged the blunder, attributing it to a mistake by the paper setter, who failed to label the question papers correctly. Many students were asked to leave the examination halls, while others were compelled to attempt the incorrect paper, leading to considerable mental distress. Faculty members criticized the university's exam section and the Board of Studies for the mishap, highlighting issues related to frequent syllabus changes that complicate the exam preparation process. A re-examination has been scheduled for June 10.
