Delhi High Court on Friday allowed Delhi University to conduct online open-book exams or final-year students, in compliance with the directions passed by the University Grants Commission and the court. The online OBE is set to begin from August 10. The decision comes a day after the High Court observed that the final year students of the Delhi University were not thoroughly prepared to participate in the online open book examination proposed by the varsity. The order was pronounced by a Single Judge Bench of Justice Prathiba M Singh in the petition preferred by students of Delhi University. Petitioners had challenged the varsity’s decision to conduct the online OBE, citing it to be discriminatory. The Court will next consider the matter on September 22 to ascertain the compliance of its directions.
