Fed Poly Bauchi Shifts 1st Semester Exams to April 22

Federal Polytechnic Bauchi has rescheduled its first semester examinations for the 2024/2025 academic session. Exams originally scheduled to begin April 14 will now start on April 22, 2025.

New Examination Schedule

Original Dates: Monday, April 14 - Saturday, May 3, 2025
New Dates: Tuesday, April 22 - Wednesday, May 7, 2025

The shift moves the exam start date forward by one week (8 days).

Reason for Postponement

The polytechnic management cited "logistic problems beyond control" as the reason for the schedule change. These could include:

• Examination materials preparation delays
• Venue arrangement challenges
• Staffing or administrative issues
• Technical setup requirements

What Students Should Do

The management advises students to "use this period of extension to conclude all necessary preparations towards having seamless and hitch-free examinations."

Use the Extra Week to:

• Review all course materials thoroughly
• Complete any pending assignments or projects
• Form study groups with classmates
• Practice past examination questions
• Clarify confusing topics with lecturers
• Organize your study materials and notes
• Get adequate rest before exams begin

Verify Your Exam Timetable

With the date shift, individual course exam dates have also changed. Check your updated examination timetable on:

• Department notice boards
• Student portal
• Official polytechnic channels

Don't assume your exam dates based on the old schedule. Verify each course's new exam date individually.

Prepare Effectively

The extra week is a gift - use it wisely:

• Focus on courses you find most challenging
• Don't procrastinate thinking you have "plenty of time"
• Maintain your study momentum
• Review continuously rather than cramming

The polytechnic apologizes for any inconvenience caused by this extension. Use the time productively to ensure your best performance in the examinations.
