DU Result 2021: As per the latest update, the Delhi High Court has directed the University of Delhi to provide a general timeline for the announcement of semester exam results, release of marksheets on digilocker app and holding of convocation for the students. The directions have been issued to avoid inconvenience to the students every semester, after which they are forced to reach-out to the court for relief. The University has been asked to file a comprehensive affidavit in the court providing these important details about release of transcripts, marksheets and degree certificates.
Streamlined Process of Result Issuance
The directions have been issued to court to ensure that there is a streamlined process of Result issuance and delivery to all the students who are studying at the University of Delhi. During the court proceedings, Justice M Prathiba Singh noted that "This court is of the opinion that in order to ensure that there is a comprehensive, streamlined procedure for declaration of results, issuance of transcripts, mark sheets and degree certificates, etc. DU ought to have a prescribed timeline? ,"
Raising questions over the affidavit filed by the University in this regards, the Delhi High Court said that the earlier affidavit filed by the university was not satisfactory as no specific timelines. In fact, the court went on to term the document as “quite cryptic”.
Plan to Add 5 Extra Seats Scrapped
In related news, recently the Delhi University decided to drop its plan to add 5 extra seats for all courses for which admission was offered on the basis of merit. The 5 additional seats were to be added to all merit-based admission courses under the “College-University Seats” Quota, wherein college principals were allowed nominate students for admissions under this category. The additional seats were introduced as COVID-19 relief for applicants. However, owing to confusion of eligibility criteria and criticism on possibility of corruption and favouritism, the scheme was rolled back.
