DU OBE Results 2020: Latest update on Delhi University Open Book Exam pending results

DU asked Nodal officers to get the evaluation of pending copies done in consultation with principals.

DU OBE Results 2020: Delhi University asked nodal officers at the college and department levels to handle pending cases of students who have been marked absent in the online open book exams (OBE) or are still awaiting results. According to the media reports, DU asked Nodal officers to get the evaluation of such copies done in consultation with principals. The move has drawn criticism from a section, which said this was the varsity’s way of evading responsibility and would create issues as teachers who taught students would now be marking answer scripts.

Dean Examinations D S Rawat via an official notification released on November 19, said, “In view of the unprecedented circumstance due to Covid, it is hereby notified that issues of ‘Absentees (not resolved yet) or Result Awaited (RA)’ of OBE 2020 result will be handled by department/ colleges/ institutions/ Centre level.” Students whose results have “not been rectified or are shown absent or result awaited cases in any paper(s)” will have to submit their application to the nodal officer of respective departments/ colleges/ institutions/centre”. “Nodal officer shall send only marks of students with details (like roll number, subject code, paper title, etc) to EDP (electronic data processing) cell of examination wing… All such grievances should be disposed of at college/department level,” it reads.

Stating that college-level evaluation hasn’t happened before, Rakesh Pandey, a nodal officer at Kirori Mal College, said: “We were earlier advocating for internal assessment, but DU went ahead with OBE. Now, this is a kind of internal assessment. The same teachers who taught students are now being told to evaluate. DU has transferred its problems to colleges.” Kumar Ashutosh, a nodal officer at the College of Vocational Studies, said: “This entire processing of coordinating with principals and teachers will take more time.” Mr Rawat added, “Our biggest concern right now is how fast we can solve problems of students; we felt it can be solved fastest at the college level.”
