The Punjab University has postponed its LLB exams that were scheduled to take place today (Friday), according to an official spokesperson. The decision was made due to the prevailing law and order situation in Lahore, which has disrupted educational and administrative activities across the city.
In an official statement, the university confirmed that the new dates for the postponed exams will be announced later. However, the LLB exams scheduled for October 13 will continue as planned.
“The LLB exams set for today have been postponed due to unavoidable circumstances,” the university spokesperson stated. “The revised schedule will be shared soon.”
The move comes amid widespread disruptions in Lahore, where several educational institutions and transportation services have been suspended for security reasons. The Punjab University has also issued a notification confirming the closure of its campus and the suspension of all academic activities. Students were safely evacuated from university premises as a precautionary measure.
