Provide Timeline For Results, Marksheets & Convocation: High Court To Delhi University

New Delhi: The Delhi University (DU) has been directed by the Delhi High Court to provide a timeline for the declaration of results, issuance of mark sheets and holding convocation on an annual basis for students, according to news agency PTI.

According to the high court, DU shall file a comprehensive affidavit providing the timeline and procedure regarding these issues so that students are not inconvenienced every semester. Also, students should not be forced to approach the court for obtaining their transcripts, mark sheets and degree certificates, as was done in this matter.

“This court is of the opinion that in order to ensure that there is a comprehensive, streamlined procedure for declaration of results, issuance of transcripts, mark sheets and degree certificates, etc. DU ought to have a prescribed timeline… ,” Justice M Prathiba Singh was quoted as saying by PTI.

The high court said the university’s earlier affidavit was not satisfactory as no specific timelines have been given for the issuance of digital degree certificates and for transmission of data to Digilocker and the affidavit was “quite cryptic”, the court observed.

The court order came while hearing a batch of petitions. The doctors and former DU students sought direction from the high court for issuance of degree certificates on an urgent basis to enable them to pursue higher education.
