Why This Decision Was Taken
The University aims to ensure that no student’s academic progress is hindered due to events beyond their control. Operation Sindoor, which disrupted travel and movement, made it impossible for some students to attend the exams.
This re-exam is an exception and will not be repeated. Hence, eligible students are advised to apply on time.

Why This Matters

It is a student-friendly initiative that shows DU’s commitment to fairness and academic support. Those affected must act fast and apply before the deadline.
Note: Students must ensure their documents are clear and legible. DU will verify every detail before allowing students to appear in the DU special re-exam.
