Semester system at the UG level at DU
Sign Now
Dear Professor Dinesh Singh,
We, the undersigned students of Delhi University, wish to express our unequivocal support for the teachers who are opposing the introduction of the semester system in the form envisaged by the University, namely, having University examinations every four months. While requesting you to reconsider the implementation of the semester system, we wish to highlight the following arguments:
1) Since we have been through the annual examination system, with a weightage of 25\% to internal assessment based on continuous term-wise evaluation and an in-house examination in January, we understand how much time is required for understanding basic concepts and methodologies, which are quite different from the limited exposure we have at school.
2) The current system gives us time and space for in-depth learning which often goes beyond exam requirements. It also gives students from diverse backgrounds time to settle down and catch up.
3) In the annual system, there is time to pursue extra-curricular activities such as sports, debating, theatre, music, writing, discussions etc, which are integral aspects of a holistic education. Semesterised University exams will leave space only for exam-oriented rote learning and will play havoc with genuine understanding, creativity and all-round growth. This will leave students ill-equipped to face academic and professional challenges after graduation.
Yours faithfully
