Delhi University begins Open Book Examinations, Guidelines issued
The online open book exams (OBE) has begun in Delhi University.
On Monday, Delhi University has issued guidelines for the online open book exams (OBE) for all undergraduate and postgraduate programmes. The guidelines have advised students to not to use any unfair means while writing the exams. Students also have to ensure to have documentary proof in case there is a delay in uploading answer sheets. As per the guidelines, students are supposed to submit their scripts on the OBE portal only.
The guidelines stated that all the students are advised not to use any unfair means while writing the exam. Students need to be very careful while writing their exams as a system is in place to identify the practice of copying or use of unfair means in the examination.
Further, it added, “If submission (of scripts) on the portal gets delayed beyond one hour, students can use an additional one hour to upload the scripts on the OBE portal (that is the 5th hour), but in that case students have to keep the documentary evidences (4-5 snapshots of the delay in uploading)", reported news agency PTI.
The guidelines also stated that due to the verification process the results of answer scripts submitted by email may get delayed, as had happened during the OBE in December, March and June. However, the system will not accept partially submitted answers by email. Submission by both email and on the portal will not be accepted.
