Admissions are going on at the University of Hyderabad. Written test results are out and there are interviews this week. Surprisingly, the university has decided to have interviews on Eid day too. On 5th July while it was quite clear that Eid is not happening on 6th July, the Government of India notified 7th July a holiday. But UoH thought to go ahead with the interviews on 7th July which is the Eid day. UoH has sent a mail and also put it in the academic website about the same.


Well, I buy the argument that it was notified in advance, many students might have planned their journey and thus it is pointless to change it in the last moment. No, this is not a last moment case. In its Calendar, the university which declares 6th July as holiday for Eid, in the admission notification on the same day, it lists interviews for several departments. That might be a mistake? I don't understand the section which plans day wise academic events for the whole year can do this mistake. This is either incompetence or insensitivity or arrogance.


On 1st May, I brought it into the notice of the concerned section including the registrar's office that Eid and then NET examination in the same week (10th of July) will be problematic for many candidates. I also pointed out that since Eid happens on the movement of moon, it can be on 5th/6th/7th too. Student Union also sought for a solution to this and suggested if the week can be avoided.


I did not get any reply but through others came to know that they are working on it. Soon found a revised notice where most of the interviews are kept on either 7th or 8th of July. So, by this time they could establish their mistake that they kept interviews on 6th July.  And also quite sure that Eid will happen on that day only thus kept everything on 7th. On 6th morning a mail was issued saying all interviews will be as per schedule. So, tomorrow on the occasion of holy Eid in the midst of festivity UoH will have its interviews.


Most of the friends in UoH and elsewhere know what kind of 'religious' person I am and I am not taking this in negative communal angle, but could you think of interviews on Dussera, Christmas or Ganesh Chaturthi Day? Even after bringing it into the notice, I am amazed on this majoritarianism and carelessness. Anyway, I don't have any interview and my best wishes to all the candidates. I also hope my university will not repeat this mistake again in any festival days.


Thank you.
