The tug of war between the Assam University Silchar and the degree students has come to an end. The Assam University Silchar has issued a notification stating that the examination scheduled in March remains postponed.

The Notice states, “This is for information of all concerned that the forthcoming Odd Semester Examinations, 2020 for BA / B.Sc / B.Com / BBA / BCA / B.Voc (IT) / B.Ed / LLB to be held in the month of March 2021 are hereby postponed due to ensuing election until further notification.”
