KU has informed that in the wake of the recent floods, all university examinations till October 12 have been postponed. The new exam dates will be announced later. Most of the educational institutions, including colleges, remained closed as they were affected by recent floods in the state.

A number of private schools have started normal functioning though the number of students was less. Hundreds of school buildings were either damaged or developed cracks in the floods, posing a great threat to students.The government has already constituted teams to inspect all the educational institutions before declaring them safe for normal work.
