Delhi cancelled all even-semester examinations for diploma programmes, including the final semester ones, in view of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic situation. According to the official notice released, the students will be promoted based on their performance in the past semester and internal assessments. In order to inform the students of all the institutes and polytechnics, the Board of Technical Education (BTE) Delhi Government issued a notification stating that all even semester diploma level examinations-2020 for ‘all semesters’ is cancelled. As per the notification, “The students of all semesters will be promoted on the basis of internal assessment (50% credit) and their previous year's performance in end-semester BTE Examination (50% credit).”

However, students who failed in any of the previous semesters -- they have a “compartment” or “back” -- will have to clear their examination whenever the examinations are next held. The notification also reads: “Students who have a compartment in any of the previous semesters and have completed their course duration +2 years tenure as per BTE rules in May/June-2020 will be given one year's additional time to qualify their diploma for all semesters.”

According to BTE, any student who wishes to improve his result in any of the subjects for the current semester under promotion criteria can opt to appear in the examination, whenever they are held in future when the normalcy is restored.

The state government provides three-year diploma courses in technical education through various ITIs (Industrial Training Institutes) and other affiliated polytechnics.
