New Delhi: The format of Delhi University (DU) degrees is set to change. Degrees awarded to students will now carry their colour photograph, along with details of major and minor subjects and information related to research or entrepreneurship. The university’s new format will come into effect from the 103rd convocation to be held on November 20. This time, the first batch to complete the four-year undergraduate programme will be awarded degrees under the new system.
The university said the change is aimed at making students’ academic identity clearer and reducing the possibility of misuse of certificates and fraud. The new system will not be limited to original degrees. Digital degrees, provisional certificates, marksheets, transcripts and migration certificates will also carry information according to the new format.
Under the four-year undergraduate programme, students will receive an Honours with Research or Honours with Entrepreneurship degree based on their subject and chosen option. New names and academic details will also be included in BA, BCom, BSc and professional courses. However, major and minor subjects will be mentioned only when a student completes the prescribed credits.
Meanwhile, the university has also changed the date of the PhD entrance examination. The exam, earlier proposed for November 14, 2026, has now been shifted to November 21, 2026. The university has advised candidates to prepare for the examination according to the revised schedule.
