Delhi University Exam Chaos Due to Logistical Issues
There was a big problem at the University of Delhi where some exam papers didn't arrive on time.
This made students and teachers very upset.
A group of students even protested because they had to wait for a long time.
Teachers said this happens because there are too many exams now due to a new education policy.
The university said they are sorry and will fix the problem soon.
Some exams were delayed, and new dates will be announced later.
Question papers for a large number of Semester VII exams failed to reach several examination centers on time, causing significant delays and disruptions.
The delay affected papers across multiple disciplines, including Computer Science and Humanities, with over 35 courses receiving question papers late or not at all.
The university acknowledged the logistical issues and apologized, stating that approximately 800 papers were affected in the morning session.
Students and faculty criticized the situation, with some students considering leaving without taking their exams after waiting for more than two hours.
The university announced that students of Honours Courses could appear in subsequent slots, while revised schedules for Program Courses would be announced separately and conducted by the second week of January 2026.
