About Sido Kanhu Murmu University Examinations

The examination system at SKMU Dumka has transitioned significantly to align with NEP 2020 (Four Year Undergraduate Programme - FYUGP). The university maintains a strict biannual examination cycle, ensuring timely assessments for thousands of students in the Jharkhand-West Bengal border region.

Timetable Overview

For the 2026 academic calendar, SKMU follows the Odd/Even semester system. The Even Semester 2026 Exams (Sem II, IV, VI, VIII) are typically conducted in May–June 2026, while the Odd Semester 2026 Exams (Sem I, III, V, VII) are scheduled for November–December 2026.

The Controller of Examinations (CoE) releases the detailed "Programme of Examination" (Date Sheet) approximately 20–30 days before the start of the session.

Expert Tips for Students

• Admit Card Discrepancies: Ensure your photo and subject codes on the 2026 Admit Card match your registration. Any errors must be reported to the Dumka HQ at least 7 days before exams.
• The "NEP" vs "Old Course" Trap: SKMU often runs exams for NEP (2022-26/23-27 batches) and Old CBCS (Backlog) simultaneously. Always verify that the "Course Title" on your timetable matches your registration year.
• Stay Updated on "Postponements": Due to local festivals or administrative reasons in Jharkhand, SKMU dates are sometimes shifted. Check the "News" section on the official site every 48 hours during the exam month.
