Tezpur University's students agreed to participate in end-term exams while continuing their shutdown to demand an inquiry into alleged financial irregularities by Vice Chancellor Shambhu Nath Singh. All other campus activities remain suspended, with increased shutdown plans post-examinations unless demands are addressed by authorities.

Tezpur University students have consented to sit for end-term examinations amid ongoing protests demanding an inquiry into alleged financial misconduct by Vice Chancellor Shambhu Nath Singh, calling for his removal.
