The University of Punjab has announced the postponement of exams scheduled for November 27, 28, and 29 because of road closures in Lahore.
The schedule for the associate bachelor’s degree supplementary exams would be released later, a university spokesperson stated.
Moreover, the University of Engineering and Technology has postponed its convocation originally set for November 28. The alumni event at UET, scheduled for November 29, has also been cancelled.
For the time being, classes at the university would be conducted in a hybrid mode, according to the spokesperson.
The disruptions have raised concerns among students and faculty, emphasizing the ongoing challenges posed by the current situation in the city.
Earlier, the Islamabad and Rawalpindi administrations closed the educational institutions for the third consecutive day given the security situation.
