The Delhi University School of Open Learning has officially released the internal assessment datesheet for 4th and 6th semester undergraduate students for the May 2026 cycle.
This is a time-bound, no-extension activity, and it directly contributes to your final result. Treat it as part of the exam, not a side task.
Internal Assessment Dates (Confirmed)
- Start Date: 6 May 2026
- Last Date: 12 May 2026
- Mode: Online (MCQ-based)
Important:
Get:
- Exam & assignment alerts
- Result and notice updates
- Study guides & PDFs
- Important student information
There is no extension beyond 12 May. Missing this window means losing marks.
Who This Applies To
- UG students of:
- 4th Semester
- 6th Semester
- All major courses under SOL (BA, BCom, etc.)
- Includes PwD students (with extended time)
Assessment Pattern (What You Will Face)
- Format: MCQ-based
- Duration:
- Regular students → 45 minutes
- PwD students → 90 minutes
- Attempts allowed: 2 attempts per subject
- Best score will be considered
This means:
You get one safety attempt — use it strategically, not casually.
Attempt Strategy (What Actually Works)
Most students waste attempts. Don’t do that.
- Attempt 1: Use as real attempt (not practice)
- Attempt 2: Only if you can improve score
Because:
- Questions may not repeat
- Difficulty may vary
Time Window Flexibility (Important)
- You can attempt assessments anytime between 6–12 May
- No fixed slot like theory exams
But:
Waiting till last day is risky due to server issues.
Mandatory Rules You Cannot Ignore
1. Complete in One Go
- Once you start → you must finish
- Timer will not pause
2. No Window Switching
- Do not:
- Minimize screen
- Switch tabs
- System may auto-submit your test
3. Submit After Attempting All Questions
- Submit button activates only after all questions are attempted
4. One Device Login Only
- You cannot login from multiple devices simultaneously
5. Use Stable Setup
Recommended:
- Laptop/Desktop
- Good internet connection
Mobile works, but risk is higher.
Where to Attempt Assessment
Assessments will be conducted on SOL’s official system (same ecosystem used recently), accessible via:
- University of Delhi SOL portal
- Student login dashboard
Login using:
- SOL Roll Number
- Barcode / credentials
Mock Test (Highly Recommended)
Before final attempt:
- Take mock test (if available)
- Understand:
- Interface
- Timing
- Navigation
This reduces mistakes during actual attempt.
Proof of Attempt (Critical Step)
After completing assessment:
- Take screenshot of your score
- Save it until final result
Why:
- In case of discrepancy
- You have proof of submission
Technical Issues – What To Do
If you face:
- Login issues
- Submission errors
- Portal not loading
Use:
- Official grievance system (I-Gram / support form)
- SOL helpline (working hours)
- Visit support centres if needed
Common Mistakes Students Make
- Waiting till last day
- Attempting casually without preparation
- Not taking screenshot
- Switching tabs during exam
- Assuming “2 attempts = no risk”
These mistakes cost marks every year.
Practical Preparation Strategy
Internal assessment is scoring if done right:
- Revise key concepts quickly
- Focus on:
- Definitions
- MCQ-type understanding
- Do not overthink — speed matters
Why This Assessment Matters
- Contributes to internal marks
- Helps improve overall result
- Can compensate for weak theory paper
Ignoring it = losing easy marks.
Final Take
The DU SOL Internal Assessment 2026 for 4th and 6th semester is:
- Short window (6–12 May)
- Strict rules (no extension)
- High impact (affects final result)
