Arts exam is before Sunday and there are two days between Sunday and Social  exam. After using the above hints our table looks like this. Here, Case 2A fails because we cannot fit Computer exam in this case without contradicting the given hint. Here, we can fill the rest of the slots easily with Physics exam on Tuesday and duration of 90 min. for Arts exam. The final puzzle is as follows:
