Examinations for 2022-23
The provisional dates for the Summer Exam Series in 2023 have been set for 15th May until 21st June 2023. This year, in addition to the set dates 22nd June to 28th June have been allocated as ‘Contingency Exam Dates’. This is to provide an opportunity to reschedule exams in the event of unforeseen cancellations, such as a Covid outbreak.
