DU to hold exams for those who left courses in between

The University of Delhi (DU) has announced that it has decided to give one more chance to their ex-students to complete their degree this year. An executive council meeting that was held on January 28 made the proposal, which has since been cleared, along with the discussions for the university’s centenary celebrations.

However, the option to complete the degree will not be provided to all former students of the varsity. DU's centenary year will start from May 1 and will see year-long events planned by the university which will continue till May 1, 2023. As a part of the DU's centenary year celebration,  the university has decided that students who could not take two-three papers can sit for their exams, and complete their degrees.

It must be noted that the option will not be made available to all those students who had dropped out in the first or second year.  “The executive council has approved the proposal. We are calling it a ‘centenary’ chance. Students who could not complete their degree for some reason can come and give their papers and earn their degree from the university,” DU Vice-Chancellor Yogesh Singh said, as reported by Indian Express.

As part of this celebration, ex-students eligible for this option will be given two chances — the first being around September and October, and the second, somewhere around March. “There will be a separate registration for them, and students who could not take two-three papers can sit for their exams,” Prof Singh said.

This decision was approved in January 2021 in a special Executive Council meeting, which was held specifically to discuss the centenary celebrations of the university.
