Overview
- Question papers for several discipline-specific electives did not reach multiple centres on time, forcing hours-long delays and some cancellations.
- The controller of examinations acknowledged a logistical lapse, said papers were later sent, and advised students to monitor the DU website for updates.
- Honours students were given an extra slot to complete three elective exams, while revised dates for programme courses will be issued for sittings by mid-January 2026.
- Reports cited more than 35 subjects affected and start times slipping to as late as 1–2 pm, with an official estimating up to 10 cancellations affecting over 100 students.
- Student groups, including the ABVP, filed protests over the disruption, as faculty and principals linked the breakdown to NEP-driven expansion that increased exam volume and complexity.
