Delhi High Court Allows Students To Sit Exams

The ruling challenges bureaucratic, surveillance-oriented practices and emphasizes invitation-based, curiosity-driven pedagogy over coercion. Indian universities may need to redesign teaching, assessments, and engagement strategies as digital resources and academic autonomy reduce reliance on enforced physical attendance.
