Osmania University to Shift May 28 Exams for Bakrid

The decision follows a moon-sighting ruling placing Eid al-Adha on May 28.

Overview

  • Osmania University said it will move degree exams set for May 28 because the date now aligns with Eid al-Adha.
  • The vice-chancellor said there are no exams on May 27 under the Telangana holiday schedule.
  • He said the timetable will change again if the festival date moves, with notices to appear on osmania.ac.in.
  • Telangana is expected to name May 28 a public holiday after the moon panel set Dhul-Hijjah to begin on May 19, which places Eid on the 10th day.
  • The step followed a request by AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi, who argued holding papers on Eid would hurt students who observe the festival.
