The statement reads that the university received representations from few students, stating that the examination dates clashed with entrance test dates of University of Kashmir.

"Subsequently, at the request of Director Admissions, Kashmir University, a revised date-sheet was framed and the examinations commenced from 25th July 2024. Meanwhile, the IG Semester 6 examinations concluded on 25th July 2024 and the results were declared within two days on 27th July 2024, reflecting the seriousness of the varsity to expedite the results," it reads.

The CU Srinagar statement reads that only nine students submitted a representation that they have appeared in the entrance test of Kashmir University for various PG programmes.

"But since the University of Kashmir has not issued the final selection list yet, their concerns regarding hassles in PG admissions are unfounded," it reads.

The University has however stated that in the interest of the student community, the matter has been taken up with the administration of University of Kashmir, including Vice Chancellor, Registrar, Dean College Development Council, Director Admissions and Controller of Examinations.

"The university authorities have taken note of the student concerns and an amicable solution is being worked out," it reads.
