Hyderabad, May 18: Osmania University issued an official statement on Monday confirming that no examinations are scheduled for May 27 in observance of Bakrid. The press note, released by the Registrar, responds to growing public queries and political representations regarding the festival timetable.
University authorities clarified that their academic schedule strictly aligns with the public holidays declared by the Government of Telangana. This update follows a recent demand by AIMIM President and Hyderabad MP Asaduddin Owaisi to ensure no assessments clash with the major religious occasion.
