NEW DELHI: The University of Delhi has notified the much awaited academic calendar for first-year undergraduate (UG) students seeking admission in the 2024-2025 session. The classes for the new batch of undergraduate students will start from August 29, according to the DU academic calendar 2024.
The new session, which was originally scheduled to commence from August 1, was deferred due to delay in declaration of Common University Entrance Test (CUET) scores amid allegations of irregularities. The academic session for UG courses will end on June 7 next year.
Several DU professors had raised concerns about the delay caused due to CUET and COVID-19, which disrupted the academic calendar for 3 years. The university had also announced plans to hold weekend classes and have a shorter winter break in view of delayed admissions; which was not received well among the teacher community.
In another major announcement, the DU vice-chancellor Yogesh Singh said that the university will use Class 12 marks to fill the vacant seats after regular rounds of counselling.
