A final examination at the Faculty of Agriculture of Hajee Mohammad Danesh Science and Technology University (HSTU) was cancelled midway due to a power outage. The Level-4, Semester-1 final exam, held at Academic Building-2, began at 12:30 p.m. and was scheduled to end at 3:30 p.m. However, repeated power failures caused long interruptions, leaving students waiting in the dark without any backup lighting. The exam was ultimately cancelled at the scheduled end time, with authorities announcing that it would be rescheduled after Eid.

Students expressed frustration over the cancellation, saying they were willing to continue even under poor lighting conditions. Faculty Dean Professor Dr. Moniruzzaman Bahadur stated that the exam was cancelled because teachers and staff were unwilling to remain on duty for an extended period. He added that no alternative arrangements were possible since other classes and exams were ongoing in all available classrooms.

The incident highlighted the lack of contingency planning for power disruptions during examinations, raising concerns among students about academic management and preparedness.
