Delhi University Eases Passing Criteria for 2025-26 Undergraduate Batch as One-Time Measure
The University of Delhi has introduced a one-time relaxation in the passing criteria for the 2025-26 undergraduate batch, exempting students who have completed one year from the requirement of securing 28 out of 44 credits for promotion. This change, aligned with the National Education Policy's Undergraduate Curriculum Framework, applies only to this batch and not to future ones. Some teachers have raised concerns about the timing and communication of the decision, noting it was made after results were declared and without clear explanation.
