Kathmandu, January 20

Amid the sharp spike in fresh Covid-19 cases in Nepal, various universities here have decided to postpone the examinations scheduled in the near future.

Tribhuvan University has announced the postponement of all ongoing and scheduled examinations until another decision is made in this regard.

The Office of the Controller of Examinations of TU issued a notice on Thursday stating that the measure was taken given the ongoing crisis with its administration staffers, faculty members and students getting infected at a fast rate, and to curb the further spread of the same.

Likewise, Kathmandu University and Purvanchal University have also notified all concerned parties regarding the examination postponement.

Meanwhile, the Public Service Commission has also said that it will not conduct any in-person examinations until mid-February.

A meeting of PSC officials decided not to carry on with the scheduled written exams keeping in mind the ongoing situtation as well as the rate of infection among the commission's staffers.
