Tezpur University has postponed end-semester exams amid ongoing student protests demanding the removal of Vice-Chancellor Prof. Shambhu Nath Singh. Scheduled to start December 3 and later rescheduled, exams on December 8–9 were canceled due to mental stress and anxiety among students. Sit-in protests continue, with administrative buildings locked. The Ministry of Education assured a time-bound inquiry against Singh, who has been absent since September amid allegations of financial and academic irregularities, but students remain dissatisfied.
