Students enrolled in the School of Open Learning (SOL), Delhi University, with admissions before 2025, are now evaluated through a fully online assessment system. These assessments are conducted directly on the PRAGYAN portal and must be completed within the scheduled time period announced by SOL.
The new evaluation structure replaces the earlier offline model and requires students to complete time-bound online tests instead of uploading handwritten assignments.
Who Must Appear for Online Assessment?
| Student Category | Eligibility |
|---|---|
| SOL UG Students | Admissions before 2025 |
| Distance/Correspondence Mode | Yes |
| BA, BCom, BSc (Programme & Hons) | Yes |
| NEP-UGCF Does Not Apply | Correct |
This assessment system is specifically for old batches (pre-2025), not for newly admitted NEP students.
How Does the SOL Online Assessment Work?
- Students must log in to the PRAGYAN portal during the official assessment period.
- The system provides online MCQs, subjective questions, or mixed pattern tests, depending on the course.

- There is no option to re-attempt once submitted or once time expires.
