Delhi University's 4-year programme exams in November sans sample papers

The  schedule for the first semester exams has been issued by the Delhi University. The exams for the first batch of students studying under the four-year undergraduate programme will start in the third week of November. The external evaluation for the compulsory foundation courses and the applied language courses will start after the Discipline I (or 'major subject') papers are over.

According to some teachers the sample papers for exams under the new programme are still not available. The syllabus has changed and the teachers are clueless about the structure of the papers. University authorities are apparently also working on the credit system but neither the formula for calculation of credits nor the names of the members of the committee devising it has been made public.

The exams for foundation courses will begin after the exams for discipline courses are over. University authorities had issued guidelines for the evaluation of foundation courses - the external exam is of 20 marks out of a total of 75. There are no sample papers available for the external evaluation also. The notification from the university says, "The university shall set the question paper with sufficient choices.”
