If not the semester system, what academic term does the Delhi University follow? Is it a quarter system (unlikely), or horror, a year-long term? Why is there so much opposition to changing to a semester system? What other universities in India still follow anything other than a semester system?
The 30-percent *barrier*
Your way of putting it has me imagining physical walls running down 1/3 of each classroom at the IIX with warders and enforcers chucking out any lady that dares to climb across :-)
