Delhi University Faces Criticism and Legal Challenge Over Exams on Eid-ul-Adha HolidayPreviousNext

Delhi University declared May 28 a holiday for Eid-ul-Adha but scheduled 368 examinations on the same day, affecting many students. This decision has drawn criticism from Executive and Academic Council members, who urged postponement, and a law student filed a petition in Delhi High Court citing religious rights. The university has not responded to requests for rescheduling, while the court acknowledged the issue during a hearing but did not immediately order a change.
