Delhi University Mock Tests
The affidavit also mentions about mock tests, which will be held in two phases in order to help the students familiarize with the process of OBE. While there are to be three sessions of mock tests per day, the tests that happened earlier this month did not go down very well due to technical glitches thereby adding to the woes of the students. While the first phase of mock tests are to commence from July 31 and end on August 4, the second phase will go on from August 8-12.
