Kawalpreet Kaur further mentioned that the classes were partially conducted in January and February. The classes began in full swing only in the month of March. The varsity was busy with permanent recruitment of faculty, and teachers kept on changing creating a lot of confusion to students. Therefore, students should not be solely blamed for the shortage of attendance, she added.

Detaining law students from examinations is a continuing scenario that is witnessed every year at DU. It is time for the varsity to take a serious note of various issues and regulate such instances in future.

Meanwhile, ABVP alleged that the varsity did not put the attendance of students until April on the notice board. On the other hand, the Faculty of Law is not permitting the students with less attendance record for the exams even though they produced a medical certificate. Similarly, the authorities calculated the attendance of students from the month of January even though classes did not start in a full swing. The ABVP demanded the Campus Law Centre give clarity in this regard.
