Delhi University portal mistakenly lists Indian students as Nepali nationals

Wednesday, 23 September 2026, 07:38 · 1 min read

A technical error on the Delhi University (DU) School of Open Learning (SOL) student portal incorrectly displayed the nationality of numerous Indian students as 'Nepal', prompting concern and a formal complaint to university authorities. Students discovered the glitch while accessing their profiles over the weekend, with some reporting that entire classes were affected; the error appeared to have been partially corrected by Monday evening. Student organisation Krantikari Yuva Sangathan has urged the university's vice-chancellor to investigate how the error occurred and hold those responsible accountable, warning that a misrecorded nationality — described as a "sensitive and fundamental identity detail" — could expose students to unnecessary scrutiny or future administrative complications.
