He further explained that the change in date of the examination, which usually hold between May-June to August/September was due to the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on the education sector.
According to him, the academic calendar has been distorted as a result of which it will not be possible to have the examination in May/June this year. He clarified that a convenient international timetable for the conduct of the examination will be released soon.
“The arrangement is in line with the current academic calendar and was done in collaboration with the Federal Ministry of Education,” he said.
