Delhi University Teachers’ Association (DUTA) said that the varsity has lost 33 working members of the faculty due to Covid-19 since the end of March 2021.
The University of Delhi stated that all the guidelines related to Assessment Based Examinations will be released on a later phase. However, in ABE mode exams, students will be given marks on the basis of subject-specific assignments submitted. The students do not need to appear in the end-semester examinations for being promoted to the next semester.
Additionally, the varsity revealed that the mode of examinations for second-semester is yet to be decided.
