NEW DELHI: Delhi University collected nearly Rs 9.5 crore from around 1.4 lakh students towards fee for the examinations that are underway, thanks to the transparency introduced with the Centre’s Samarth portal, officials said.
This is almost double the amount the university previously fetched from exam fee. Earlier, several colleges would not entirely transfer the exam fee to the university as there was no effective mechanism to ensure checks and balances, they said.
The university has been conducting openbook exams for students since last year due to Covid-19 and the semester exams began on November 30.
A minimum examination fee of Rs 500 is levied per semester on each student while another Rs 200 needs to be paidfor each practical exam.
