The Delhi University has recently issued a notification regarding the examinations for the final semester/ term/ year for the session 2019-2020 in the view of COVID-19. The notification, says all concerned examinations for final semester/ year/ term students for all undergraduate and postgraduate courses including the examinations for SOL and non- collegiate women education board (NCWEB) shall commence from the 1st of July 2020. Further highlighting that if the situation around COVID-19 does not improve, the university will adopt an alternate mode of examination i.e., Open Book Examination (OBE) for the final year students of all UG, PG and other academic programs. the OBE shall be conducted along with arrears (ER) of the previous semester/term/ year. This alternate method would be taken to ensure all the social distancing norms, safety, and health of the students. The notification stated that a detailed guideline of the Open book examination (OBE) along with the date sheet of UG shall be notified by the end of this month.
Students and teachers both believe that the recent announcements where ill-conceived and are not in favour of the OBE. These unprecedented times have excluded numerous students from remote areas as well as from small towns and cities. With internet connectivity being abysmal very few have access to regular online classes.
