New Delhi: Delhi University (DU) is planning to issue hard copies of degrees to students who graduated in 2021 within two months of the convocation, which is likely to be held in February. The move is aimed at redu-cing the woes of students as it takes at least a couple of yearsto get the degrees after graduation.

Senior officials said DU was planning to give out printed degrees to over one lakh students, including those from SOL.

DS Rawat, DU’s dean of examination, told TOI, “We are planning to give degrees to all students who graduated last year. The data is be- ing sent for printing. Earlier, data was collected through colleges, which was a time-consuming and difficult process. ”

“We made a change in the examination form wherein students were asked to fill their enrolment numbers and names in Hindi. This information was reflected in their admit cards and marksheets too. After the declaration of results, emails were sent to over1. 7 lakh students to check their marksheets. In case of any correction, students were asked to contact their respective colleges,” Rawat explained.

He added, “With this exercise, we got data of all students who passed in 2021 and the same is being sent for printing. ”

According to the data shared byofficials, 77,563 regular students, including undergraduates and postgraduates, would be handed over their degrees. Similarly, around 91,850 undergraduates and 1,126 postgraduates would be receiving their degrees this year. Additionally, around 650 PhD degrees would be issued by the universitythis year.
