JNTUH semester exam duration increased By Mohammed Hussain Ahmed| Edited by Sameer | Updated: 28th February 2021 1:01 pm IST Representational Photo Hyderabad: Conceding demand for relief, the Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University (JNTU) Hyderabad has increased semester exam duration by one hour. The students can write their exams in three hours’ time instead of two hours. However, the University has not changed the pattern of the question papers. The students must attempt five out of eight questions. There would not be any compulsory section in the question paper. In 2019-20, this pattern of question paper was adopted due to the Corona pandemic. The relief of an extra hour for the exam will be applicable to odd semester exams of B.Tech and B.Pharma beginning from March 8, 2021.
