Delhi University hold back its plans for filling online examination form

New Delhi: Delhi University has reviewed its plan fill examination forms online from this semester after the opposition they received from college administrations. The colleges have raised an objection saying that a large number of DU students still do not possess an e-mail ID and lack familiarity with the internet. The University on Friday withdrew a notification it issued on September 6.

R. C Sharma, Dean of Examinations at the University, said that they wanted to implement online filling of examination forms from this semester but there is some reluctance on part of colleges.

He further added that they will try to implement the system in the coming semesters. The technology is ready and switching to online system would have made it possible to build a database of students and link their marks to this database.

The University had already prepared the log-in page for online form-filling and put up instructions to students on its home page before the move was withdrawn.
