Delhi Universities to Compensate for Delays by Adding Weekend Classes, Reducing Winter Break

Universities in Delhi, including JNU, DU, and Ambedkar University, plan to conduct weekend classes and shorten winter breaks due to delayed admissions linked to CUET UG result delays. The National Testing Agency's re-test has compounded the issue, forcing the universities to amend their academic schedules.

Universities in Delhi, including JNU and DU, are planning to hold weekend classes and shorten their winter breaks due to the delay in CUET UG results.

The National Testing Agency (NTA) announced a re-test for over 1,000 candidates on July 19, causing further delays in result announcements.

These delays have forced universities to revise their academic calendars. JNU may conduct classes six days a week and reduce the winter break. Ambedkar University intends to hold extra evening and weekend classes. Meanwhile, DU will face a delayed end to the academic calendar for first-year students.
