Patliputra University to Introduce OMR-Based Exams from 2026, Plans New Law Courses

The construction of the proposed Jhajjar Campus was stopped because the load-bearing capacity of the land was too low due to the land's topography and waterlogging, which made it unsuitable for IIT Delhi facilities. Sonipat Campus: IIT Delhi has a functioning Sonipat campus equipped with 35 advanced research facilities including sophisticated microscopes, 3D metal printers, and devices for environmental monitoring which collectively support the researches in a number of scientific fields.

Ideas & Partnerships: The Sonipat campus is home to Atal Incubation Centre, I-Hub Foundation for Cobotics, and the Atmospheric Observatory, creating a setup for industry interaction, entrepreneurship, and research at the forefront of the field. The Jhajjar campus of IIT Delhi may not be launched as the land that was sanctioned for the project was found to be unfit for the construction of IIT Delhi Extension Campus in Jhajjar.

The university administration further stated that it plans to extend the same system to vocational courses in the near future. “The step is expected to align vocational education more closely with the NEP-2020 framework and provide students with improved opportunities for skill-based learning,” he said, adding that adopting OMR-based examinations will make the evaluation process more efficient while maintaining fairness and accuracy in assessing students enrolled in enhancement and value-added courses.

In addition, the College of Commerce, Arts and Science is likely to start LLB courses from the next academic session this year.While the state govt has approved the proposal, the university is awaiting final approval from the Bar Council of India, sources said, adding that LLB teaching, which was stopped for the last three years due to a lack of proper infrastructure, is to get approval for 120 seats now.
