STATEMENT OF OBJECTS AND REASONS
For some time past , Delhi University has been facing problems created by the accelerated rate of increase in the number of students seeking university education , particularly at the undergraduate level . The ever- increasing enrolment of students to the B.A. ( Pass ) Course , the opening of new colleges to cater for larger numbers and the growing difficulty of recruiting teachers with requisite qualifications , and maintaining academic standards are factors which are posing difficult problems and threaten to alter the basic character of the University as a teaching and affiliating university.
2. The University has done all that is possible to admit as many students as possible by increasing the number of seats in existing colleges , affiliating new colleges and by larger admissions to correspondence courses and Non- Collegiate Women's Education Board . This , however , has not solved the problem fully as the demand for admission has exceeded the facilities that could be arranged. As a further remedial measure the Uni- versity has recommended that students who fail to get admission to the B.A. ( Pass ) Course be allowed to appear as private candidates .
3. Section 4 of the Delhi University Act provides that the University shall , inter alia, have the power to hold examinations and to grant , and confer degrees and other academic distinctions on the persons who have pursued a course of study in the University or who are non - collegiate women students or are teachers in educational institutions , or have pur- sued a course of study by correspondence . The Act does not permit candidates to appear privately at the University examinations .
4. The present Bill seeks to amend the aforesaid section to give effect to the University's proposal for permitting candidates residing within its territorial jurisdiction to appear privately at the examinations of the Uni- versity.

MEMORANDUM REGARDING DELEGATED LEGISLATION
Clause 2 of the Bill empowers the University to frame Statutes and Ordinances specifying the conditions subject to which external candidates . may be registered by the University .
The matters in respect of which Statutes and Ordinances may be made are matters of detail and it is not possible to provide for them in the Act . The delegation of the legislative power is , therefore , of a normal character .
