DU Increases UG Promotion Passing Criteria To 63 Percent

According to authorities, Delhi University (DU) has increased the passing percentage for promotion to the following year from 50 percent to 63 percent in all undergraduate courses.

To be eligible for promotion, undergraduate students at all DU colleges must now have a cumulative grade point average of 63 percent in the first and second semester.

Students representing Delhi University in sports, extracurricular activities, the National Cadet Corps (NCC), and the National Service Scheme (NSS), among others, may be excluded from the criterion if approved by their college’s responsible authorities.

This action has been made following implementation of the National Education Policy’s (NEP) Undergraduate Curriculum Framework (UGCF) 2022 at Delhi University, according to a university official.

“Under the previous passing and promotion rules, a student was eligible for promotion from first year to second year of the course provided he/she cleared 50 percent of the exams of first and second semesters taken together. The students had to clear seven papers and obtain a total of 22 credits to get promoted,” an official stated.
