Chief minister Arvind Kejriwal on Saturday wrote to Prime Minister Narendra Modi asking him to cancel final-year exams of Delhi University and other central universities. In his letter, Kejriwal asked the PM to intervene and direct University Grants Commission and the human resources ministry to cancel the final-year exams.

“For the sake of our youth, I urge the honourable Prime Minister to personally intervene and cancel final-year exams of DU and other central government universities and save the future,” the letter said.

The chief minister requested the UGC to amend its guidelines in the larger interest of students.

“If institutes like IIT and NLU have already awarded degrees to their students on the basis of internal assessment, then why can’t other universities do the same?” Kejriwal asked, adding that “even global universities have awarded degrees on the basis of internal assessment in the time of pandemic.”

Earlier during the day, deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia had announced cancellation of all exams at state-run universities in the capital and said that Kejriwal would be writing a letter to Modi requesting him to cancel the exams at central universities too.
