Regarding Online Programming Exam conducted on 31 March 2018.

Dear students,

This is regarding the programming exam that was conducted on 31 March 2018. A few students had faced problems while submitting their codes. Owing to some confusions in understanding the questions or the python version on the portal, their code could not get through the portal successfully.

We acknowledge the problems faced by you and feel sorry for the inconvenience caused to you. Hence, we plan to conduct a re-test of the programming exam. We hope that there will be no confusions in terms of the understanding of the questions as well as the portal. The maximum of the marks obtained in the original exam and the re-test will be considered for the final evaluation.

The date and time of the re-test will be communicated soon.
