Delhi University Eases Passing Criteria for 2025-26 Batch, Teachers Express Concerns
The University of Delhi has relaxed the passing criteria for the 2025-26 batch, exempting students who have completed one year from the requirement of securing 28 out of 44 credits for promotion. This one-time exemption applies only to this batch and not to future ones. The university did not specify reasons for the change, which was approved by the competent authority. Teachers have raised concerns about the timing of the decision, as students have already progressed to the third semester, and questioned the lack of explanation for the exemption.
