Autonomy conferred to Departments for PG Exams: DU

Delhi University has given autonomy to respective departments to conduct their own entrance and semester exams for post graduate courses. It has been made in action to make the examination process smoother and quicker.

Earlier, most of the entrance exams were handled by the exam branch only, but from now it will be the responsibility of the respective departments to run the courses as well as to conduct the PG entrance exams and even end semester exams.

Dean of Examination branch, RC Sharma said that, this move has been implemented so as to relieve the burden of the examination branch after the implementation of the semester system at the undergraduate level. He also said that by the time we finish work for first semester, second semester begins. It will also will quick results to students.

Previously, most of the things were handled by departments only and we had to send written approvals for everything, which would take time. He stated that, now the autonomy has given to the departments in this matter and they just need to tell the dates to examination branch and provide with the copies of question papers. This action will also make the process easier for the exam bench.
