Hall tickets delayed, NU shuts exam link but allows offline form submission

Nagpur: Even as students continue to face delays in receiving hall tickets for the Summer 2026 examinations, Nagpur University (NU) has announced that the online examination application link has been closed following the declaration of the exam timetable. However, students who are yet to submit their forms will still be allowed to apply through their respective colleges under prescribed rules.Major exams have started from May 11 onwards, and many students found that their hall tickets were not generated even a day before their exams. Later, more such cases continued to surface as students from across different courses were left in the lurch. According to a circular issued by the university, students whose examinations are scheduled to begin in eight days and who have not yet filled out examination forms can approach their colleges. The colleges have been directed to send recommendation letters to the director, Board of Examinations and Evaluation, after which the examination form link will be reopened on payment of the prescribed late fee.Exam section officials said it has come to the fore that many colleges didn't submit exam forms and fees even though students had completed the formalities at their end months ago. The form filling started in February-March, and the university continued to accept forms till April 30."Students say they were not aware if their colleges submitted their forms or not. Some students are coming from other districts like Wardha and Bhandara to enquire about their hall tickets. Many have their exams in a day or two, but their forms have not been sent by colleges," a senior official said. "How can colleges fail to send forms of regular students? It is shocking," an official said.
