New Delhi: U-19 cricket World Cup-winning captain Unmukt Chand has been allowed to move to his second year at St. Stephen’s College, but he has to clear his first year exams, Delhi University Vice Chancellor Dinesh Singh said on Friday.
Singh said Unmukt would have to clear his second semester exam of the first year after he is promoted to second year. He will also have to simultaneously clear his second year exams.
Unmukt, a BA student who was admitted to college in the sports category, was not allowed to take his second semester exams due to low attendance.
“Under the proposed structure – that is expected to be placed before the academic council in a couple of months – participation in sports activities will be accorded credit and the students will have the choice of replacing some of the academic courses with a structured recognition of participation towards his degree,” Singh said.
