Several students and teachers of Delhi University had earlier raised concerns regarding the conduct of exams amid the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Delhi University Teachers' Association had written to acting vice-chancellor Professor PC Joshi over the issue. "The university must take a sensitive view of the situation that students and teachers find themselves in -- no one is in a position to write or conduct examinations at this moment.

"Hence, we request you to consider cancelling examinations for all students and decide upon alternative means to evaluate students. Deadlines for submission of internal assessment must be extended," they had said in a letter dated April 30.
