# Andhra University extends special exam deadline 2026-10-08T19:16:28+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet CDOE of Andhra University has extended the deadline for applications to its Special Drive Examination, as per a notification from Director D. Appala Naidu on 8 October 2026. The facility is open to undergraduate students up to the 2018 batch and postgraduate and professional course students up to the 2021 batch. Applications can be submitted online from 9 to 17 October with a fine of Rs 1,000. Students have been advised to note the change and upload applications accordingly. Queries can be directed to 0891-2844162, 2844164 or 2754966. ## Indian Opinion Analysis The extension gives students from earlier batches a final window to appear for the special drive, but the Rs 1,000 fine may discourage some. The notification leaves unclear how many students remain eligible or what prompted the deadline change. Applicants have until 17 October to upload forms online. ## Coverage - thehindu.com Straight notification-based reporting with no added framing or commentary.
