AKTU Revised Exam Schedule 2026: Check the New Dates

Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam Technical University (AKTU), Lucknow has officially released a notification regarding the rescheduling of Odd Semester examinations that were originally scheduled on 15 January 2026.

If you are an AKTU student appearing in UG or PG odd semester exams, this update is important for you. Let’s break it down in a simple and clear way so there’s no confusion.

Why Did AKTU Reschedule the 15 January 2026 Exams?

AKTU has rescheduled the exams because the Uttar Pradesh Government declared 15 January 2026 (Thursday) as a public holiday on account of Makar Sankranti.

This holiday was announced under the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881, which means official academic activities like examinations cannot be conducted on that day. As a result, all AKTU exams scheduled for 15.01.2026 have been postponed and moved to new dates.

In short: The exams are not cancelled — only rescheduled.

Which Exams Were Affected by This Change?

AKTU is currently conducting Odd Semester Regular and Carry Over examinations for the session 2025–26, scheduled between 23 December 2025 and 31 January 2026.

Only the exams falling on 15 January 2026 were affected. These include papers from multiple programs such as:

1. B.Tech (All branches)
2. B.Pharm
3. MBA / MBA-Integrated / MBA-GR
4. B.Arch
5. M.Tech
6. BBA

All other exam dates remain unchanged.
