Departments were told to submit revised date sheets without delay. The Controller of Examination emphasised that revised timetables must be reviewed to prevent academic overlaps and logistical issues such as room allocations and invigilation schedules.
Once approved by the competent authority, revised date sheets will be displayed on departmental notice boards and uploaded to the official examination portal at exam.du.ac.in. Students should recheck their admit cards and exam details after the updated schedules appear.
Student action and immediate impact
If your exam fell between May 20 and May 25, 2026 , expect a new date sheet soon. Keep checking exam.du.ac.in and your department’s notice board or portal for the approved timetable. Contact department offices if you do not see updates after a reasonable interval.
The university said the revised timetable will be finalised following administrative review and approval. There is no official timeline yet for the release of new dates.
This announcement affects a concentrated set of exams but does not change the broader exam calendar outside the specified window. Students should continue preparing and verify any changes to admit cards once the university publishes the revised schedule.
