The University of Delhi School of Open Learning (DU SOL) conducts semester examinations for eligible undergraduate students through the Delhi University Examination Branch. Students appearing in odd semesters, including 3rd and 5th semester, are required to complete the examination form process within the prescribed schedule.
The DU SOL website currently provides examination-related services for existing students, including examination forms, hall tickets and results.
Who Can Apply for the DU SOL Exam Form?
The examination process is relevant for eligible students from different admission sessions, including students admitted during the 2022–23, 2023–24, 2024–25 sessions, subject to their semester and examination eligibility.
Students who have an ER (Essential Repeat) in a previous paper may also need to submit the examination form and appear for the concerned ER paper according to the applicable examination schedule. DU SOL explains that students having ER in a paper must clear that paper within the applicable span period.
DU SOL 3rd Semester Exam Form
Students who are currently eligible for the 3rd semester examination should complete the examination form process through the official DU/SOL examination portal when the form is activated for their batch and programme.
Before submitting the form, students should carefully check:
- SOL Roll Number
- Barcode
- Course and semester
- Examination papers
- ER/backlog papers, if applicable
- Examination fee
- Personal details
Students should save the fee receipt/application confirmation after successfully submitting the form.
DU SOL 5th Semester Exam Form
Eligible 5th semester students also need to complete the examination form process for their respective examination.
The 5th semester is an odd semester, and DU’s examination system publishes examination forms and datesheets for SOL students through the Examination Branch. For example, the University has previously issued combined examination-form notices covering Regular, NCWEB and SOL students for December/January examinations.
DU SOL ER Paper Form
Students who have ER (Essential Repeat) in a paper should not ignore the examination-form process.
According to the SOL marksheet information, ER means Essential Repeat, and a student with ER in any paper has to appear in that paper as per the applicable span period.
Therefore, students should check their previous result/marksheet before submitting the examination form. If an ER paper is shown, they should select the applicable paper carefully wherever the examination portal provides that option.
