# NU waives late fees after BSc students miss exam over confusion 2026-11-14T21:46:24+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Outlets counted: timesofindia.indiatimes.com Nagpur University (NU) has waived late fees and conditions to allow BSc fifth-semester students who missed their first winter examination paper on Saturday, 14 November 2026, to appear, after an alleged communication gap between students, colleges and the university led to confusion. The revaluation results for previous semester exams were declared on 6 November, but university and college offices then closed for Diwali vacation. Amol Palsokar, director of the Board of Examinations and Evaluation, said he personally approved applications until late Friday night and even requests received on Saturday morning, ensuring no student suffered a loss of academic time. However, students in Gondia, Ramtek and Nagpur reported that their colleges refused to help, blaming the university for keeping the online portal closed and refusing to reopen it. Some students have written to the university seeking a postponement to complete formalities. ## Indian Opinion Analysis The dispute between students and colleges over who is responsible for the missed exam leaves the underlying communication breakdown unresolved. While the university says it accommodated every student who approached it directly, students say their colleges blocked them by blaming the closed portal. The colleges, in turn, appear to have passed the blame back to the university. Without a clear protocol for how revaluation results are communicated and acted upon during holiday periods, students remain caught between two gatekeepers. The next step is whether the university addresses the demand for a postponement. ## Coverage - timesofindia.indiatimes.com Leads with the communication gap, reports both sides without endorsing either This brief was synthesised by AI from the source linked above.
