According to Mr Mujib Ullah Zuberi (Controller of Examination), the tentative schedule of the examinations will be sent to respective departments of studies, faculties and colleges for verification after which the schedule will be uploaded.

He added that the evaluation work of the Viva Voce will be done by the internal examiners.

He has urged the chairmen and principals to ensure that the award list for these examinations is dispatched to the Controller Office at the earliest to expedite the processing and declaration of results.

The teaching for 2020-21 academic session will commence from August 5 through online mode and students will not be allowed to stay in hostels for the time being.
