In a baffling turn of events at Rani Durgavati Vishwavidyalaya in Jabalpur, students arrived for their MSc Computer Science exam only to discover that it had not been scheduled or conducted, despite the university previously releasing the exam timetable and issuing admit cards. This oversight has sparked outrage among students and raised serious questions about the administration's negligence.

The university had announced the timetable for the MSc Computer Science first-semester exam nearly 20 days ago, with the exams slated to commence on Tuesday, March 5. However, upon reaching the examination center on Tuesday morning, students were shocked to learn that there was no scheduled exam, and even worse, the university had failed to prepare the necessary question papers.

Sachin Rajak, a leader from the NSUI organization, condemned the incident, labeling it as a severe case of administrative negligence. He emphasized that the students had invested considerable effort into their studies, only to be misled by the university's oversight.
