Massive unrest broke out at Delhi University’s Law Faculty after 150 students were denied admit cards over low attendance. Angry students locked the exam centre, delaying the exam by two hours.
On Tuesday, a serious situation developed at the Law Faculty of Delhi University when around 150 students were not given admit cards for their upcoming semester exams.
The reason behind this was their low attendance throughout the academic term. This decision led to major unrest among the students.
As the news spread, students started gathering outside the examination department. The matter worsened late at night when some students, in anger, allegedly broke into the examination department.
Their frustration grew, and by the next morning, the group locked the entrance of the examination centre in protest.
They declared,
“If we can’t sit for the exam, no one will.”
Because of this disruption, the examination that was supposed to begin at 9.30 am got delayed by two full hours.
The staff and faculty members had a tough time handling the situation. Students and parents were seen waiting outside the campus, confused and upset about the delay and the protest.
Among those who were denied admit cards were some known student leaders. Interestingly, these included students from both major student organisations – the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) and the National Students’ Union of India (NSUI).
This shows that the issue was not limited to one political group but affected a wider section of the student community.

After a lot of chaos and tension, the university administration finally stepped in. They broke the lock placed on the examination centre by the protesting students and managed to conduct the exam.
However, those students who had not received their admit cards due to low attendance were still not allowed to take the exam, as per university rules.
The quote from the students, “If we can’t sit for the exam, no one will,” clearly shows the level of frustration and anger they had towards the university’s decision.
The protest highlighted the growing gap between students and administration when it comes to strict attendance policies.
This incident has raised big questions about how attendance rules are being applied and whether there should be a more flexible or transparent approach by educational institutions.
It has also brought attention to the need for better communication between students and university officials to avoid such extreme actions in the future.
