The University of Delhi recently released a notification informing about the latest modifications made in the DU Academic Calendar 2020-2021 in the view of the ongoing pandemic situation. The University of Delhi published the official notice regarding the updated academic calendar on its website i.e. du.ac.in. The varsity modified its academic calendar for the year 2020-2021 considering the delays that took place due to the outbreak of the novel coronavirus. According to the academic calendar issued for postgraduate and graduate courses, dispersal of classes will start from November 28, 2020, for odd semesters. Odd semester (I, III, V) examinations will begin from December 12 and winter break will commence from December 29.
Furthermore, the classes for even semesters (IV, VI, VIII) will commence on January 2, 2021. Examinations for the same will be conducted from May 15 to May 29, 2021.
While the classes for odd semesters usually start from early July every year. This year, DU will begin these classes from August 10. With no mid-semester break and the winter break lasting for only three days, continuous online classes are bound to take a toll on students. Delhi University students have already expressed their discomfort with virtual learning and the new academic calendar is proof that the schedule for teachers and students will remain hectic throughout the semester.
The academic calendar notification dated 28.08.2020 is a revision of the previous academic calendars.

The University is yet to issue any further notification regarding the mode of conductance of exams.
