Edit: RGUHS exam postponement official notification is out. Know more here.
Have the RGUHS exams been postponed?
On one hand, multiple notifications being shared over social media show that the exam scheduled to be held from September 18, 2019, are being postponed in light of floods in the state. On the other hand, there is no such notification on the official website yet. With few days to go for the exam, the RGUHS exam date notification – on whether there is any change in date or not – is being widely searched by students.
The origin of the reports that say exams have been postponed is not clear. One of the several now viral notices gave rise to the news. All in all, these are some of the notifications that are currently doing the rounds on social media.
This one says that post basic nursing course examination will start on September 30, 2019. Yet there is no such pdf file at rguhs.ac.in, which is the official site of the university.
Then some people have shared notifications at opposite ends of the spectrum – one showing new exam dates for B.Sc Nursing exam, and another that says that that notice is fake. Either notices are not available on the website.
Latest viral notification about RGUHS exam postponement is this one. As per it, UG, PG theory exam of nursing, AYUSH, physiotherapy and allied health sciences courses September-October 2019 are being postponed. The rescheduled date from September 18, 2019, is September 30, 2019. This notice says that new exam dates will be announced in some time. However this notice is also only being seen on social media, and is not available on the official website.
The last official notification at rguhs.ac.in is the following one. It is dated September 12, 2019 and is for exams of post basic nursing, B.Sc nursing, bachelor of physiotherapy. As per it, their theory exams will be held from September 18, 2019. Last date of submission of filled in application forms is September 16, 2019.
Karnataka has been severely affected by heavy rainfall and floods that hit the state last month. Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) had to issue a red alert to many of the coastal as well as mainland regions. Nearly 7 lakh had to be evacuated just before Independence Day. Loss of life and property has devastated several families. Needless to say, the state will take a little time to recover from the disaster that struck it.
Even after that the people of the state have been on an edge, and relief as well as recovery work is an ongoing process.
This natural disaster is what has been cited as a reason for postponing exam dates, in the viral notices. Notification to that effect is yet to be available at rguhs.ac.in. The university always publishes exam date related notices under the examination section of the website.
Students are advised to stay tuned to the official website, and contact authorities before taking any action on the basis of notifications they see anywhere besides the official websites.
