Timetable delays at DCAC have left students unsure about classes, turning the start of the new semester into yet another waiting period.

After a disrupted examination season at the University of Delhi, students at the Delhi College of Arts and Commerce hoped for a smoother semester. Instead, the term has begun with confusion, as the official timetable is yet to be uploaded, leaving students unsure of their class schedules.

Students said that timetables were not entirely missing. In several DCAC departments, schedules were prepared by the Teachers-in-Charge and shared informally with students who contacted their professors directly. In the Journalism department, for instance, the faculty circulated the timetable internally and on time. 

A member of the Students’ Council, DCAC, said that the delay was largely administrative, with classes clashing in some departments, especially Commerce, slowing down finalisation. Despite informal updates, no official communication has been issued by the college authorities confirming the timeline for the release.

Currently, the impact on classes has been limited, as many faculty members have not yet begun regular lectures. A student from Sri Venkateswara College, facing a similar situation, said, “Our professors are understanding since exams have just ended, and many students are still in their hometowns.” 

However, students noted that the lack of an official timetable could be a serious issue. “If regular classes were running, it would be difficult”, said a Venky student. “I travel nearly two hours, and without a timetable, going to college would be a waste of the day.”

For many, this delay has dulled their expectations of a smooth academic restart.
