New Delhi, August 5, 2025 — Delhi University (DU), one of India’s premier higher education institutions, has announced a significant shift in its operational timings. All affiliated colleges will now remain open from 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM, a 12-hour schedule designed to maximize the use of academic infrastructure and enhance flexibility for both students and faculty.
The decision, taken by the university’s administrative council, is part of a broader initiative to meet the increasing demands of a growing student body and optimize the use of classrooms, laboratories, libraries, and other campus facilities.
Key Benefits of the New Timings:
- Expanded Access to Resources: With more hours of availability, students can access labs, libraries, and faculty support over a wider timeframe.
- Enhanced Scheduling Flexibility: Students enrolled in multiple programs or working part-time will benefit from more diverse class scheduling options.
- Support for Extracurricular Growth: The extended hours also allow more time for clubs, workshops, and sports activities without interfering with academics.
- Better Classroom Utilization: The move ensures that infrastructure is used efficiently throughout the day instead of being crowded during peak morning hours.
Addressing the Needs of Modern Academia
A university official commented,
“This change will allow colleges to structure academic and co-curricular engagements more efficiently, reduce overcrowding, and promote a balanced educational environment.”
Colleges will be required to adapt class schedules, faculty timetables, and support services accordingly. Specific implementation details are expected to be released shortly.
As Delhi University continues to modernize its academic and operational policies, the extension of college hours marks a progressive step in aligning with global higher education trends.
