This discussion addresses the confusion surrounding Karnataka State Law University (KSLU) examinations amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. While the Karnataka State Government ordered exam cancellations for intermediate semesters, the Bar Council of India (BCI) issued guidelines to conduct them. The core issue is determining whether the State Government or the BCI holds the ultimate authority in setting KSLU's academic policies, especially during such unprecedented circumstances. Conflicting academic calendars and a lack of clear communication have left students uncertain about their examination schedules.
