ALU postpones LLB exams due to Rajasthan panchayat polls
Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar Law University (ALU), Jaipur, has postponed its LLB second and fourth semester examinations until after the Rajasthan panchayat elections. The university administration issued the order on Wednesday (14 October 2026), citing a clash between exam dates and the four-phase polling schedule in October and November.
Six exam days, 22, 24, 28 and 30 October and 3 and 5 November, fell on voting dates. Several exam centres were also taken over by district election officers for polling, making it impossible to conduct exams at those locations. Additionally, some students had submitted representations stating they were contesting as candidates in the elections.
The university's exam controller has said the exams will now be held after all four phases of voting are completed. A revised timetable will be announced soon.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The postponement affects law students across two semesters at ALU, delaying their academic schedule by at least several weeks. The core conflict was administrative: six exam dates overlapped with the election calendar, and many exam centres were requisitioned for polling, leaving the university with no viable venues. Students who are themselves candidates added a second layer of demand. The next concrete step is the release of a new timetable, which the university has promised to issue soon.
