Chaos and frustration erupted at Delhi University examination centres on Saturday as exam papers for more than 35 subjects arrived nearly four hours late, disrupting schedules and leaving students anxious.

The two-hour exams, scheduled to begin at 9.30am, were delayed till nearly noon at several colleges while some papers were eventually cancelled, exposing serious logistical lapses in DU’s examination system.

Official sources stated that the delayed papers were discipline-specific electives (DSEs), mainly for seventh-semester undergraduate students, Times of India reported.

“Around 800 papers were scheduled for the morning session, with nearly 1.4 lakh students appearing for exams across DU campuses. Over 35 DSE papers could not be dispatched on time," TOI quoted an official as saying.
