Kerala, 04 August (H.S.): Mahatma Gandhi University (MG University) and the Kerala Public Service Commission (PSC) have postponed a series of examinations scheduled for August following persistent heavy rainfall and adverse weather conditions across the State.

MG University authorities said all theory and practical examinations scheduled to be held from August 4 to 7 have been postponed as continuing heavy rain has disrupted normal life and travel in several parts of Kerala.

The university said revised dates for the postponed examinations would be announced later. Candidates have been advised to await further notifications regarding the rescheduled examinations.

The Kerala PSC has also postponed examinations scheduled over the coming days in view of the prevailing weather conditions.

According to officials, all online and OMR-based examinations that were scheduled to be conducted on August 4, 5, 6 and 10 have been deferred. Fresh dates for these examinations will be announced separately.

The adverse weather has also affected the PSC's recruitment process for the post of Beat Forest Officer in the Forest and Wildlife Department.
