Osmania University postponed all examinations scheduled for 24 July after Left-affiliated student unions issued a shutdown call, protesting an alleged police lathi-charge on students during the nationwide Chalo Sansad march linked to the NEET-UG 2026 paper leak controversy.
What triggered the shutdown
Student groups in Hyderabad said the protest was called in solidarity with demonstrators at the Delhi march and to register anger over what they described as disproportionate police action against largely peaceful protesters demanding accountability for the NEET paper leak.
Impact on students
University officials confirmed the postponement affects examinations across multiple courses, with a revised schedule to be announced separately. Students preparing for the affected papers said the last-minute change added to uncertainty already caused by the wider disruption to the academic calendar this year.
Part of a larger pattern
The Osmania shutdown mirrors protests recorded at university campuses across the country in recent weeks, as the Cockroach Janta Party-led movement over the NEET paper leak and Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan’s resignation continues to draw student participation well beyond Delhi.
