Due to the prediction of heavy rains, the Madras University has cancelled the examinations that were scheduled for today. It was speculated that the region will be surrounded with heavy rains. The University has also stated that the new dates for the rescheduled exams will be declared soon. Earlier, Chennai collector A Shanmugasundaram announced holiday for the educational institutions in Chennai district tomorrow after the India Meteorological Department predicted today that the sky would be generally cloudy over next 24 hours.
"Due to heavy rains in Chennai and its surrounding Madras University cancels exams scheduled on 22nd November. The rescheduled date for this exam will be announced soon," read a statement from Madras University. "Exams conducted by the University Departments on 22nd November 2018 are also cancelled," the Chennai-based University further added.
The state government has been taking precautions after the Kerala Floods. Universities in Tamil Nadu also cancelled the examination, earlier this month, due to Cyclone Gaja. "Chennai collector has declared a holiday for all schools and colleges in the district tomorrow in view of incessant rain & rainfall warning for tomorrow," reported ANI.
