The Delhi University has released guidelines for the open book examinations that will commence from November 30 which state that students who have opted for the physical mode can also take the exam from their home. However, those who have opted for the online mode of exams, cannot choose the physical mode of the examination.

The last date for filling up the examination forms is set to be November 18 and it might be extended, according to an official. The guidelines stated that the colleges should upload the mobile numbers and email-id of the nodal officers on the college website so that students can reach them in case of any query during the exam.

The students have been given two options -- physical mode (from the college) and remote mode (from home) by using ICT-based facilities. "Those who have opted for the option of writing exam by physical mode will have the choice of writing it through remote mode but not vice-versa.

The college will provide the necessary infrastructure in compliance with the MHA, UGC guidelines in view of Covid-19," the guidelines has said.

The students shall be provided all the facilities by the college for taking the open book exam in physical mode. They will have to bring their own A4 size sheets. The duration of the exam shall be four hours, including one hour for scanning the answer sheet in the PDF/JPEG format and uploading on the portal.
