Kerala Postpones State Exams Due to Heavy Rain and Flood Disruptions
Heavy rain in Kerala has led the General Education Department to postpone the State Eligibility Test and the Higher Secondary Equivalency Examination originally scheduled for August 2. The revised dates will be announced later, with candidates advised to check official websites for updates. Mahatma Gandhi University also postponed exams set for August 3 due to weather conditions. The Kerala Public Service Commission stated that candidates from flood- and landslide-affected areas will be given another chance to take competitive exams disrupted by the heavy rain.
