The Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University has decided to offer a “one-time chance” to the students who couldn’t complete their degrees over the past 25 years as a part of its silver jubilee celebrations, vice-chancellor of the university said on Wednesday.

The university held a press conference here earlier in the day during which Vice Chancellor Mahesh Verma shared details about a host of programmes that will be held from October 5-10 as part of the 25th anniversary celebrations.

He further told PTI that the GGSIPU will “honour 25 research scholars” working in the field of healthcare.

The silver jubilee celebrations kicked off last December and are set to continue until December this year, he said.

During this jubilee period, the university is not only focusing on academic endeavours, but also recognising excellence in healthcare. The university will provide 25 scholarships to meritorious students as well.

As part of the university’s ongoing silver jubilee celebrations, ‘we will be offering a one-time chance to students who, for various reasons, couldn’t complete their degrees over the past 25 years,’ Verma told PTI.

The university also organised a ‘health mela’ for people to come in for free health check-ups, consultation, medical tests and expert talks at the Talkatora Indoor Stadium.

The event saw over 15,000 registration on its first day, people from all age groups came for their medical check-up from more than 50 specialised medical stalls set up by well known government and non-government medical organisations.

The Vice Chancellor further said, “we have adopted 25 villages and are actively working for the welfare of the people in these communities.”

 

The Gobind Singh Indraprastha University (GGSIPU) is the first University established in 1998 by Govt. of NCT of Delhi. Its main campus is built on more than 60 acres in Dwarka. The university will open a north campus in Narela, Delhi.

Last year, Delhi University, which turned 100 in 2022, had announced a “centenary” chance to students who could not complete their degree for some reason to return to the university and take their exams.
