Students now approached the high court after their requests were left unheard by the varsity. The plea has been filed by eight students of DU. The petitioners have alleged that many colleges had continued online classes, despite being directed to hold them offline. Students had earlier argued on social media that after attending classes in online mode for the last two years, the decision to hold offline exams by varsity is not wise and not in favor of many students.

The plea also raised the concern over the spike in COVID-19 cases in the national capital and offline exams by the DU will increase the risk of students getting infected by the deadly COVID-19 virus.
