Good news for all those who want to know the procedure of internal assessment at the University of Delhi (DU).

The Central Information Commission (CIC) has recently ordered that the university has to display a copy of the internal assessment rules at prominent locations across colleges.

At DU, 75% marks are allotted on the basis of annual examinations while the rest 25% are decided on the basis of internal assessment.

The ordinance, currently available only on the university’s website, has to be displayed on hoardings at locations with maximum visibility. These include all central libraries, office of the Dean and the principal’s office in all colleges of the varsity.

The hoardings will also mention the link / URL to the page on the website of the university where the ordinance is available.

The contact details of the college monitoring committee for internal assessment will also be mentioned on these boards.

 “Hard copies of the ordinance and any other document with respect to the said ordinance will be placed in the libraries of all undergraduate colleges and postgraduate department / centres, including all central libraries of the university,” said the CIC order dated March 17, 2010.

AN Prasad, a student of the university’s law faculty had written to the commission stating that the rules of internal assessment were not easily available to students.

The university has to comply with the order before April 16, 2010.
