Even the examination of external students are also scheduled to start in the same period,” said Dr V B Gaikwad, the Controller of Examination. He said that the number of students appearing for M.Com I and II are big and it will have an extra pressure on the examination conducting machinery.
“In order to execute all the examinations without any glitch, we have decide to postpone the M.Com exams by five days and now the exams will be starting from may 10,” Gaikwad added.Sudhakar Jadhavar, the dean of Commerce faculty, said that the other reason to postpone the exams of M.Com is that the Chartered Accountant (CA) examination, which was earlier supposed to start on May 17, however, they too have postponed the exams and now the CA exam will take place on May 26. “Since both parts of M.Com exams are ending by May 20, the students will have ample time to prepare for the CA exam,” he said.
