Second, the degrees are not being granted without examinations; far from it. The Choice Based Credit System (CBCS) that the UGC implemented in the country has a uniform modular structure. Consequently, Delhi University also follows the standardised credit system for its different undergraduate programmes. For example, any BA (honours) programme has overall 26 courses amounting to 148 credits. Of these, over the last five semesters, examinations have been held for 22 courses amounting to 124 credits. So, already about 84 per cent of the programme has been completed and students have written 22 sets of exams over the past two-and-a-half years to cover these. Of the rest 24 credits (about 16 per cent weight of the total), which was supposed to have been covered in the current semester, 25 per cent of the assessment is based on internal assessment, which has also been completed. That means only 12 per cent of the overall assessment (final degree) is incomplete, and we have been suggesting assessing this 12 per cent component only on some basis of averaging internal evaluation and past examination performance. Why should an entire degree be derogatorily called “corona degree” for averaging only such a small component of the total, that too based on past examinations only?
