The Story in Brief
Mahatma Gandhi University has postponed all examinations scheduled for August 10 due to persistent heavy rainfall across Kerala. The postponement applies to all theory and practical exams at its affiliated colleges. Revised dates will be announced later. The Kerala Public Service Commission had also postponed its online and OMR exams on the same date. The university said the decision was taken considering severe travel disruptions faced by students. Heavy downpours have caused waterlogging and traffic issues in several parts of the state.
The Indian Opinion
Ordinary Indians will notice that while educational institutions often get criticised for reacting late to weather events, here MG University acted swiftly to cancel exams. The narrative that Kerala's infrastructure is always unprepared may be one-sided; the university prioritised student safety. As revised dates are awaited, the test will be whether the rescheduled exams avoid clashing with other major tests, minimising further disruption.
