Head of Delhi University’s computer department Dr. Sanjeev Singh said that around 50% of answer scripts submitted via the OBE portal have been assessed. However, for submissions made via e-mail, a tedious procedure of integration and assessment with the DU portal have to be evaluated.
Stating that around 40 officials have been toiling on sorting thousands of OBE answer script submissions made via email, the growth stood at 35%.
Acting Dean of Examination, Professor DS Rawat, in retort to the court’s questioning if the entire evolution procedure could be completed in the 1st or the 2nd week of October, rather October 30 said that after assessment of answer scripts, the result has to be moderated and then grades have to be awarded, which will consume time.
Considering the equilibrium of assessment and the urgency, the HC directed Delhi University to write to its consistent colleges’ Principals to expedite the process.
The court further evaluated the status of issuance of letters to foreign Universities on behalf of DU final year students.
He added that over 277 applications out of the total 292 applications are from undergraduate students and reaming 14 are from postgraduate students.
