The university authorities said fresh schedules for the postponed exams will be announced later and will follow departmental regulations.
Academic activities at CUET and other engineering universities have been disrupted in recent days as the majority of engineering students across the country are protesting to demand their rights. They have boycotted classes and exams while also holding road blockades, human chains and other demonstrations.
According to university authorities, the only solution lies in discussions based on the students' logical demands.
However, it is not possible to conduct examinations under the current circumstances, they added.
