AKTU odd semester exam postponed for UG, PG due to Mahakumbh, Mahashivratri; new date sheet out

NEW DELHI: Dr APJ Abdul Kalam Technical University Lucknow (AKTU Lucknow) has postponed the undergraduate (UG) and postgraduate (PG) odd semester exams for regular and carry over students appearing for the academic session 2024-25. The AKTU exam date for the odd semester, which was slated to be held from February 18, has been deferred by 10 days.

As per the AKTU new exam date sheet 2025, the university will conduct the second phase of odd semester exams from February 28 to March 22.

The AKTU odd semester exam has been postponed in view of the Mahakumbh mela and Mahashivratri festivals in the districts of Prayagraj and Varanasi. Students have been facing difficulties in commuting to the institute and exam centres due to change in traffic system and closure of roads due to the Kumbh mela.

Considering the requests by the AKTU-affiliated colleges to postpone the semester exams, the exam which was scheduled to be held from February 18 to March 11, has been postponed. The AKTU odd semester 2nd phase exams will now be held from February 28 to March 22.

The AKTU admit card 2025 for the odd semester students appearing in February exams was issued on Monday morning. Students were allowed to download the hall ticket through the AKTU ERP login. However, the university is yet to clarify whether it will issue new hall ticket for the postponed exams.
