However, teachers and student bodies have earlier criticised DU’s decision to hold the exams in ‘open-book’ mode online, terming it ‘discriminatory’ and ‘unfair’.

The teachers’ body said that ‘open-book’ examination was very different from the kind of tests DU students are used to and will thus increase the anxiety of large sections of students
