Delhi University, on June 27, announced that they have postponed their open book exams for final year students. The exams which were scheduled for July 1 will now be held on July 10 in view of “prevailing coronavirus pandemic". As per the university, the new date sheet would be released on July 3.
While this news has left many in anticipation of the new datasheet, many others were elated, however, there were many who suggested that the exams should be cancelled altogether. Yet, another group of students started a meme riot on Twitter with many dishing out hilarious puns and memes.
One user reimagined a conversation between the protagonists of the Bollywood film Main Hoo Na. In the viral meme, the board students say that exams have been cancelled due to corona, however, DU students say ‘sabka cancel nahi hua laxman’ Another rib-tickling meme features Jethalal Gada from Tarak Mehta Ka Oolta Chashma who in his cliché style asks 'Kya Tapllek hai aapko ?'
