Maharashtra University of Health Sciences postpones all July 9 exams because of heavy rain

Maharashtra University of Health Sciences postponed all examinations scheduled for July 9, 2026, after heavy rainfall disrupted Nashik and surrounding areas.

The university said the decision was taken as a precaution for the safety of students and staff. Revised examination dates have not yet been announced.

What changed

The postponement was reported on July 8, 2026, a day before the exams were due to begin.

The move affects students and staff across the university's exam schedule and means candidates will need to wait for a fresh timetable before making travel and preparation plans.

Weather disruption in Nashik

The announcement came as Nashik saw widespread rain-related disruption on July 8, including waterlogging and traffic problems. Regional reports also said the Godavari River had swollen in the city, with some riverside areas affected.

Weather coverage the same day indicated heavy-rain alerts across Maharashtra, adding context to the university's decision.

What to watch next

Students should look for the university's revised schedule and any further weather-related notices. More closures or postponements remain possible if rain continues to affect the region.
