DU Granted Permission To DU To Conduct Online Open Book Examination

The Delhi High Court has allowed the University of Delhi (DU) to conduct an online open-book examination on the schedule fixed for final year students with certain conditions. The University of Delhi’s decision to conduct the online open book examination for the year’s courses from August 10 has been upheld. The High Court has issued some guidelines, which Delhi University will have to follow during the open book examinations, asking it to submit a report to the court after conducting the examinations.

For a long time, there was doubt about the examination of DU final year students. Several times the date was postponed by the university. Justice Pratibha M. Singh has said that question papers will be made available to students through emails and university portals. Apart from this, they will be given extra time to upload the tearsheet. The High Court has directed the university to send an auto-generated mail to the students that they have received the answer sheet. Justice Singh was hearing the case through video conferencing.

Justice Singh said, “I wish the students and the University of Delhi all the best for the examinations”.

The court gave its ruling on the petition challenging the university’s decision to conduct an online open book examination for final year undergraduate courses as per UGC guidelines.

DU will conduct an online open-book examination from 10 to 31 August and students who do not appear in the online examination will be given a chance to appear in the general examinations which will be held in September.

The High Court, while giving the verdict, also directed that the information of the Nodal Officer and Central Email ID be published on DU’s website and has asked the Shared Services Centers (CSCs) to inform all their centers. CSEs are designed to provide services to students who do not have the infrastructure to take open-book exams.

He said, “There should be an officer to resolve the issue raised by the students, including difficulties in downloading the question paper and uploading the answer sheet. If the problem is not resolved, then the matter should be referred to the Complaints Committee.

The court reconstituted the grievance committee under the leadership of retired judge Pratibha Rani and said that the committee will work till the open book examination is over and the grievances of the students are resolved within five days.

He said that the results of the OBE should be announced soon and the answer book should be sent for evaluation. The court asked DU and the committee to send their respective reports after the examinations were over.

The university had earlier informed the court that the idea behind conducting the Online Open Book Examination is to prevent students from gathering in a place where it would be difficult to maintain physical distance in view of the Covid-19 global epidemic.

DU’s counsel had said that no student needs to be very high tech in sitting for online OBE as having an email would be sufficient.
