DUTA seeks suspension of classes, exam cancellation in Delhi University amid Covid-19 spike

DUTA has asked the Delhi University administration to cancel the exams and suspend all classes amid the current Covid-19 spike in Delhi.

The Delhi University Teachers' Association (DUTA) has written a letter to the Delhi University administration, urging them to cancel the upcoming term-end exams and suspend all the classes amid the current spike in Covid-19 cases across the national capital. DUTA has written to the varsity's acting vice-chancellor PC Joshi demanding suspension of classes and cancellation of the upcoming exams since many students and teachers have been affected by the coronavirus pandemic. The varsity on Thursday said it will take stock of the exam schedule, amid demands from students asking for exams to be deferred in view of spiking Covid-19 cases in the country. The university is slated to hold online exams for final-year undergraduate and postgraduate students between May and June.
