Delhi University students, who are taking part in the Republic Day 2024 celebrations, will get an opportunity to appear for missed exams. As per the official notification released on Thursday, the university said it will give a “special chance” to the final year students, who have been busy with the preparations for Republic Day and couldn't take their exams held during that period.
Besides, the varsity is also contemplating a relaxation for students who represent the institution in national or international sporting events, including the Olympics.
According to PTI, the final-year students of Delhi University will take part in the Delhi contingent of NCC. “We will offer a special chance to final-year students of Delhi University who were busy with parade rehearsal and therefore couldn't appear or the examination held during the period,” OSD of examination, Ajay Arora said.
He added the university will also be considering including the first and second-year students participating in the Republic Day parade for the same after evaluating the number of students needing the relaxation.
“We want to encourage students to learn from their experiences beyond the classroom teaching. Because of this, it is important that they participate in such events and gain exposure,” Arora said. “This will also help grow a sense of nationalism in young minds.”
The datesheet for the special examination will be released soon and the exams will be held accordingly to avoid any clash with the other papers during the scheduled time.
As many as 2,274 cadets, including students from Delhi University, will represent the Delhi Contingent this year. The 75th Republic Day parade will also see a record number of 907 girl cadets marching on the occasion.
