In the affidavit, it was also mentioned that Vice –Chancellors of certain universities were in favour of conducting the final year exams to the least.

Meanwhile, Delhi University would start the online open book examinations for final year students from today, August 10, 2020, onwards. After much resistance and a court case, the university was permitted to carry on with its plan to hold online OBE exams from today under strict norms. The varsity has now released the guidelines for candidates who will be taking the exams.

The state universities under the Delhi government are- the National Law University, NLU, Delhi Technological University, DTU, Ambedkar University, AU, Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University, Netaji Subhas University of Technology, NSUT, Indira Gandhi Delhi Technical University for Women, IGDTUW and Delhi Pharmaceutical Science and Research University, DPSRU.
