Delhi University writes to Telegram over group to ‘help’ students with open book exams

A Telegram group to “help” students with online open book exams (OBE) has prompted the Delhi University (DU) to write to the messaging platform, asking it to”block” the group.

DU authorities also shot off an email to all students asking them not to be part of such groups, and warning of action.

DU’s OBE began Monday for the final semester postgraduate and undergraduate students with nearly 35,000 students taking the exam on the first day.

“It has come to the notice of the Examination Branch that a WhatsApp/Telegram group has been created to take help for examination. Students are advised not to subscribe to any such groups.
