The university is yet to upload the official timetable on its website, which would actually reveal if the dates are clashing with that of other competitive exams. Meanwhile, the results of the first year of LLB semester 1 and second year of LLB semester 5 (5-year course) were declared on Tuesday.

Recently, the Student Law Council had approached the varsity demanding the exams to be postponed as the varsity was yet to declare the results of the previous semesters (semesters 1, 3 and 5).

Despite the revised dates, some students remained unhappy, as the new dates are likely to clash with the Company Secretaries (CS) exams, which will take place between June 1 to 10. “The university has delayed declaring the results of our previous semesters for no fault of ours. Now, with the new dates, many of us are in a fix as the dates are likely to clash with the CS exams,” said an LLB student from a city college.
