However, the question papers were not distributed until 11:30 am.

"The Electronics Instrumentation exam eventually commenced late, and students were given the full three hours to complete it. The students were provided adequate time to finish their paper," an official said.

However, the "Mathematical Physics-I" paper had to be postponed after students raised objections to the prolonged delay.

"Due to their concerns, the paper was rescheduled for January 5 at the same time," the official added.

When asked about the cause of the disruption, the official cited "confusion" and "lack of coordination" between the department and the colleges. He declined to provide further details.

The papers are offered by the Department of Physics and Astrophysics at the Delhi University.
