Exam Pattern & Session Types

The Faculty of Law follows a descriptive, offline examination pattern for its semester finals.

• Theory Exams: Each paper is generally of 3 hours duration (typically 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM).
• Practical/Clinical Courses: For subjects like "Moot Court" or "Professional Ethics," internal assessments and vivas are held 2 weeks prior to the theory exams.

Expert Tips for Students

• Check for Corrigendums: DU often releases "Updated" or "Revised" date sheets a week before exams. Always check the official site 48 hours before your first paper.
• Admit Card Accuracy: Ensure your Exam Roll Number matches the one on the university attendance sheet. Any discrepancy should be reported to the "Window 4" or "Examination Cell" of your specific Law Centre.
• BNS vs. IPC: For the 2026 session, students must be vigilant regarding the transition to the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) in their syllabus; confirm which version of criminal law is being tested in your specific semester.
