Mangaluru: Pending approval of its decision-making bodies and the Karnataka government, the Mangalore University has prepared a tentative draft action plan to conduct its undergraduate and post-graduate examinations and complete the delayed 2019-20 academic year, according to Vice-Chancellor of the University P S Yadapadithaya.

In statement issued here on Tuesday, he said that students need not be apprehensive of whether they will complete the academic year before facing the examination. The University will take appropriate decisions in the best interest of students without burdening them.

He further said that the university is of the view that holidays for its educational institutions should be extended till May 31. Even the expert committee constituted by the government on the phased exit strategy after the 21-day lockdown has also recommended this to the government.
