Delhi University Relaxes Passing Criteria for 2025-26 Batch, Faculty Raise Concerns
The University of Delhi has issued a one-time relaxation of its passing criteria for the 2025-26 academic batch, exempting students who have completed one year from the requirement of securing 28 out of 44 credits for promotion. This exemption applies only to this batch and not to future ones. The decision, approved by the competent authority, has raised concerns among faculty about its timing, lack of explanation, and potential impact on examination transparency and consistency, as students have already progressed to the third semester.
