About University of North Bengal Examinations
For the 2026 academic session, NBU follows the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 framework for its Four-Year Undergraduate Programme (FYUGP) and the semester system for PG courses. The Odd Semester 2026 Examinations (Sem I, III, V) are traditionally conducted in January–February 2026, while the Even Semester Examinations (Sem II, IV, VI) are slated for June–July 2026.
The Controller of Examinations, Dr. Debasis Dutta, oversees the release of these schedules. Timetables are typically published on the dedicated examination portal, exam.nbu.ac.in, approximately 3-4 weeks before the start of theory papers. Practical examinations usually precede theory exams by 7–10 days and are managed at the respective college level.
