Delhi University (DU) has recently issued an amendment to Clause 6 of Ordinance IV of the University relating to migration and readmission. According to this amendment, students who are struggling to pass their optional or optional subjects after multiple attempts can now be allowed to change their optional, optional or subsidiary subjects to a new subject.
According to the institute, this amendment will be effective from the academic session 2024-2025. The notification said that under the existing provisions, change in elective, elective or subsidiary subjects in any semester of undergraduate or postgraduate courses was already prohibited.
