# Gujarat University students protest exam timetable clash 2026-10-01T23:56:56+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Gujarat University (GU) students have objected to the scheduling of regular and backlog (ATKT) examinations at the same time on the same day. They say the overlap forces students who need to take both papers to choose one, risking their academic year because of an administrative error. Students said the university collected fees for both papers but still scheduled them simultaneously. They claimed they informed the examination department and authorities multiple times, but no revised timetable has been issued. The students have demanded an immediate rescheduling. They said they may launch a protest and gherao on campus if the administration does not announce a solution soon. ## Indian Opinion Analysis Gujarat University is caught between a fixed exam calendar and students who paid for two papers that now run at the same hour. The core issue is whose time the timetable serves: students who need both exams to clear their year, or the administration's convenience. The university has collected fees for both but given no revised schedule despite being told of the clash. That silence makes a campus gherao likely unless the authorities act before the overlapping papers begin. ## Coverage - timesofindia.indiatimes.com Straight news report of student grievance, no editorial slant.
