Delhi University Final year open book exams postponed till August

Delhi University has postponed the final year open book examination till August. The university told Delhi High Court that it has decided to postpone the final year examination that was scheduled to start from July 10. Further, DU has mentioned that it will hold the exams after August 15, 2020.

The hearing was held through video conferencing in which Justice Pratibha M Singh expressed his displeasure over DU’s decision and said

“Just see how you are playing with the lives of children. You were not fair with the court



about your preparedness for holding the online examinations. You are saying you are ready but the minutes of your meeting show the contrary."

Delhi University had scheduled the final semester exams from July 1, however, due to student’s protests, the university decided to postpone the exams by 10 days and rescheduled them from July 10.

Delhi University’s decision came a day after UGC guidelines which says that universities can hold final semester examinations online or in regular mode or may opt for a blended format.
