**Delhi University Exam Schedule Sparks Faculty Outcry Over Class Overlap**

**New Delhi, October 14, 2025** – A tentative exam schedule released by Delhi University has ignited a wave of criticism from faculty members, who are protesting a significant overlap between semester examinations and the commencement of the following semester’s classes.

The proposed schedule indicates that undergraduate semester exams will run from December 10, 2025, to January 30, 2026. However, classes for the new semester are slated to begin on January 2, 2026, creating a month-long conflict.

“How can students be expected to both sit for exams and attend classes simultaneously for an entire month?” questioned Professor Mithuraaj Dhusiya, a member of the University’s Executive Council. “Likewise, how can teachers invigilate, teach, and attend different evaluation centers all at the same time? Does the university even have the infrastructure in place to handle both exams and classes at the same time?”

The situation raises concerns about the quality of education as well as the well-being of both students and staff. Abha Dev Habib, an Associate Professor at Miranda House, added, “Lakhs of students will be forced to juggle exams and classes. This will inevitably lead to an acute shortage of space, likely pushing many classes online and overwhelming the university’s online capabilities.”

Professors are concerned about the heavy workload for teachers, and the potential strain on University resources. The university administration has yet to respond to the concerns raised by faculty members. This story is developing, and *The Hindu* will continue to provide updates as they become available.
