Delhi University, DU students struggling to clear their elective or optional subjects after repeated attempts will now have the option to switch to a new subject.
According to a notification issued on Wednesday, this decision will come into effect from the 2024-25 academic sessions. The move follows an amendment to Clause 6 of Ordinance IV of the university, which earlier prohibited any changes to optional, elective, or subsidiary subjects in any semester of undergraduate or postgraduate programmes.
The university aims to provide students with greater flexibility and support in completing their academic requirements through this change.
"In case a student is unable to pass the paper after multiple attempts, he/she may be permitted to change the optional or elective subjects or subsidiary subjects in any semester of the postgraduate or undergraduate course, register for the new elective course, fulfill all the academic requirements, including attendance, internal assessments, and continuous assessment, and thus earn the requisite credits," reads the official notice.
Students choosing a new subject must register for the course, fulfill academic requirements such as attendance and internal assessments, and secure the necessary credits to pass, according to the notification.
The university has instructed all colleges and departments to implement the revised ordinance starting this academic year.
