Delhi University has released guidelines regarding the open book examinations that will commence from November 30, 2021. According to the guidelines, students who have opted for the physical mode can also take the examinations from their homes. But, those who have opted for the online mode cannot choose the physical mode of examination.
Students can fill in the examination forms by November 18, 2021. However, according to the officials, the last date might get extended. The guidelines also stated that the colleges should upload the mobile numbers and email -ids of the officers on the college website so that students can reach them in case of any query during the exam.
This time, the university has given two options to the students- physical mode (from the college) and remote mode (from home) using ICT-based facilities.
“Those who have opted for the option of writing the exam in physical mode will have the choice of writing it through remote mode but not vice-versa. The college will provide the necessary infrastructure in compliance with the MHA, UGC guidelines in view of Covid-19,” the guidelines said, as reported by PTI.
The students shall be provided all the facilities by the college for taking the open-book exam in physical mode. They will have to bring their own A4-sized sheets. The duration of the exam will be four hours, including one hour for scanning the answer sheet in the PDF/JPEG format and uploading it on the portal.
Differently-abled students will be given six hours. In case students face technical issues while uploading their answer sheets, they can submit their answer sheet beyond the stipulated time limit with documentary evidence for which an additional one hour will be given.
The cases of delayed submission will be sent to the review committee and their evaluation will depend on the decision of the committee, according to the guidelines. The delayed submission might also cause a delay in the declaration of results for such candidates.
