Despite being criticized by the teachers and students continuously, DU went ahead with its decision to conduct the open book exams. The outbreak of the novel coronavirus followed by the imposition of the nationwide lockdowns in order to contain the virus spread forced universities to opt for alternate methods of examinations. Some universities even promoted students without conducting examinations.

Meanwhile, Delhi University (DU) is likely to start the registration process for DU Admissions 2020 on June 20, 2020. The varsity now decided not to conduct any group discussions and interviews this year for PG admissions 2020-21.
