Delhi University has received over 12,500 applications for the “Shatabdi” chance exam, which will allow final year drop-outs to complete their degrees, a university official announced on Thursday. This one-time chance has been given to the drop-out students in view of the year-long centenary celebrations of DU that began on May 1.
“We have received 12,677 registrations for the Shatabdi Chance Examination,” DU examination dean DS Rawat said. June 30 was the last date for registration. He said that out of 9,331 candidates who filled the form, 8,095 have also made the payment. In May, DU announced that those who have dropped out of college in the final year can register for a one-time chance to appear for examinations and complete their degrees.
Qualified candidates can appear for a maximum of four papers in the annual mode and up to eight papers for the semester-wise test. The exam will be conducted tentatively during October this year and in March next year through physical mode. The university said it will be conducted for theory and practical exams and not for internal assessment.
In March, Vice-Chancellor Yogesh Singh announced that DU students who have dropped out would be given a “chance of the century” to complete their studies and obtain their degrees. A proposal for the same was approved in the special executive council meeting held on January 28 to discuss the centenary celebrations of the university.
