Calcutta University Exam Date Dispute: West Bengal Government and University on Collision Course

The Calcutta University and the West Bengal government are on a collision course over the exam date, with the university refusing to budge from its scheduled exam dates. The university had announced the exam dates for the undergraduate and postgraduate courses, but the government has been requesting the university to reschedule the exams due to the upcoming municipal elections in the state. The government has been citing the reason that the exams may coincide with the election dates, which may cause inconvenience to the students and the exam process. However, the university has been adamant that it will not reschedule the exams, citing the reason that it has already made all the necessary arrangements for the exams and that any change in the dates will cause inconvenience to the students. The university has also stated that it has not received any official communication from the government regarding the rescheduling of the exams. The government, on the other hand, has been maintaining that it has sent several letters to the university requesting it to reschedule the exams, but the university has not responded to any of them. The dispute between the government and the university has been going on for several weeks now, with neither side willing to give in. The students, who are caught in the middle of the dispute, are getting anxious about their exams and are demanding that the government and the university resolve the issue as soon as possible. The university has also stated that it will not be possible to reschedule the exams at such short notice, as it will require a lot of logistical arrangements and will also cause inconvenience to the students. The government, however, has been maintaining that it is not possible to hold the exams during the election period, as it may cause law and order problems. The university has also pointed out that the government has not provided any evidence to support its claim that the exams will cause law and order problems. The dispute has also taken a political turn, with the opposition parties in the state accusing the government of trying to interfere in the autonomy of the university. The university has also stated that it will not allow any political interference in its academic affairs and will take all necessary steps to protect its autonomy. The students, who are caught in the middle of the dispute, are demanding that the government and the university resolve the issue as soon as possible, so that they can focus on their studies.

The government, on the other hand, has been maintaining that it is committed to ensuring that the exams are held in a peaceful and smooth manner. The dispute has also raised questions about the autonomy of the universities in the state and the role of the government in interfering in their academic affairs.
