Delhi University (DU) has announced an exciting new option for students struggling with elective subjects. Beginning with the 2024-25 academic session, students will now have the opportunity to switch their elective or optional subjects, a decision confirmed by a notification released on Wednesday.
This change comes as a result of an amendment to Clause 6 of Ordinance IV, which previously did not allow students to make any changes to their elective subjects after the semester had started. The intention behind this revision is to offer greater flexibility and support, helping students meet their academic goals.
According to the official notice, if a student has faced challenges passing a paper after several attempts, they will now be permitted to change their elective or optional subjects during any semester of their undergraduate or postgraduate courses. They will need to register for the new elective course and fulfill all academic requirements, including attendance and internal assessments, in order to earn the necessary credits.
DU has instructed all colleges and departments to put this revised ordinance into practice starting this academic year, ensuring that students have the support they need to succeed in their studies.
Best wishes.
