DU offers chance to join discontinued course
The Hindu
Students can take remaining exams
Delhi University will now give a “centenary” chance to students who had to discontinue their course midway for some reason to return to the campus and take their exams.
The proposal was approved at a special executive council meeting held on January 28 to discuss the centenary celebrations of the university. The celebrations to mark DU’s centenary year will begin from May 1 and will see year-long events till May 1, 2023.
Explaining the details, DU Vice-Chancellor Yogesh Singh said two chances would be given to students who left their course midway between May 1, 2022 and March 1, 2023 — the first being around September and October, and the second, somewhere around March next year — wherein they can take their examinations.
Around 440 MBBS graduates of 2021 are not required to undergo one year of compulsory rural service as per the bond signed by them while joining the medical course through government-quota seats in 2015 as the High Court of Karnataka has said the law, enacted in 2012 for mandatory rural service, remained unenforced for 10 years as it was published in the official gazette only in July 2022.
