13 June 2026 Exam Centre Change Alert: If you have an exam scheduled for 13 June 2026, please check your admit card along with the newest notice at sol.du.ac.in. Your exam centre address may be different from what was printed. This guide will help you check your DU SOL Exam Centre 2026 for any possible centre changes.
With the DU SOL May – June 2026 exams approaching and 2nd Semester exams commencing on 18 June 2026, the most important thing for students is to check what their DU SOL Exam Centre 2026 is. Every year, hundreds of students go to the wrong location on exam day and completely miss their exam because they either did not check what their exam centre was on their admit card or because they did not check for a notice of centre change by SOL.
DU SOL assigns an exam centre for you that will be printed on your DU SOL Admit Card 2026. This article explains how to discover your exam centre, what to do if your exam centre has been changed, which colleges in Delhi are usually used as DU SOL exam centres, the schedule for exam shifts, and what you DO and DO NOT need to bring on exam day.
DU SOL Exam Centre 2026 – Key Information
DU SOL Exam Centre 2026 Information on Admit Card / Hall Ticket / Date Sheet
Where will the exam centre information be provided?
DU SOL exam centre information will be reflected on the admit card / hall ticket. It will NOT be mentioned on the date sheet. Students often make the mistake of downloading the date sheet and thinking the exam centre information will also be there, but that is not the case. The date sheet will mention the date, time, and subject of the exam, while the admit card will contain the exam centre name and address.
Details on Exam Centre Designation and Change
Who designates the exam centre?
The exam centre will be randomly assigned by the University of Delhi / School of Open Learning. Centre designation is at the complete discretion of the DU SOL.
Can students select the exam centre?
No, the exam centre assignment will be done automatically by DU SOL.
Is a notice regarding centre change issued?
Yes, a notice regarding centre change was issued for 13 June 2026 (Morning Session).
What are the exam timings?
The 2nd semester exams will be conducted from 18 June 2026 to 30 June 2026.
Morning Shift: 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM
Afternoon Shift: 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM
How can I find out more about the exam centre assigned to me?
The exam centre will be assigned to you and will be reflected on the admit card. You can log into the admit card portal at admission.sol.du.ac.in to obtain your admit card. If you have any queries regarding centre designation, you can contact the helpline at 011-65213030.
You need to download your DU SOL Admit Card for 2026 from admission.sol.du.ac.in and read it before your first exam. The admit card has your exam centre information. You need to find your exam centre location ahead of time instead of the morning of your exam when you could be late. It is critical that every student has this information 5 to 7 days before the exam.
Caution: The DU SOL Notice informs of a change in exam centre for the 13 June 2026 exam (morning session). If you, or anyone in your circle, has a morning exam on 13 June 2026, the exam centre has been changed from the original. You need to go to sol.du.ac.in and check the most recent notice to find your new exam centre. If you go to the original exam centre, you will have no way to take your exam and you will fail.
Finding Your 2026 DU SOL Exam Centre
You can find your exam centre with your admit card by following the steps below:
- Step 1 – Download Your Admit Card: Go to admission.sol.du.ac.in and enter your SOL Roll Number and Barcode. Save your DU SOL Admit Card 2026.
- Step 2 – Look for the Centre Section: In the admit card you downloaded, find the "Examination Centre" or "Centre Name & Address" fields. This section will contain your exam centre name and full address.
- Step 3 – Note the Full Address: For the exam centre address, pay attention to the full address, including the name of the College / Institution, the street address, area, and PIN code.
- Step 4 – Search on Google Maps: Open Google Maps, and search for your exam centre with the full name and area. Save the location, and check the route from your place. Pay attention to the estimated travel time during the likely peak hours of the day.
- Step 5 – Visit the Centre in Advance (Optional But Recommended): If your centre is far from home, or in an unfamiliar area, it is best to visit one or two days before your first exam to familiarise yourself with the building and the entrance gate. Knowing which gate to enter makes a time consuming difference on the exam day.
- Step 6 – Check for Centre Change Notices: On each exam day, check the official SOL website at sol.du.ac.in to see if there are unexpected centre change notices. DU SOL has posted a notice for 13 June 2026. Check your centre the evening before each exam to be safe.
Pro Tip: Take a screenshot of your exam centre address and keep it saved on your phone. There may be problems with phone service or the internet on the day of the exam. If this happens, you may not be able to access your admit card PDF. If you save your centre address as a screenshot on your phone and write it down, you can reach the centre without the internet. You can also save the centre name on Google Maps to be available offline for navigation.
DU SOL Does Not Allow Students to Choose Their Exam Centre
One of the most popular DU SOL student questions is, "Can I change my exam centre to one that is closer to my home?" Changing exam centres to a closer location is not an option. Students cannot choose exam centres. The university assigns exam centres at its discretion and based on capacity. Since the examination venues are affiliated and designated by the university in Delhi, examination centres may vary. For example, the centre you are assigned in the first semester may be different than the one you are assigned in the second semester.
If the details on your admit card contain an error, such as a centre in a different state or with an unrecognisable address, you need to contact the SOL Helpline at 011-65213030 to report this. In error cases, a new admit card will most likely be issued by SOL and you will be given direction to the correct centre.
DU SOL Exam Shifts 2026 – Morning and Afternoon
For the 2026 DU SOL May – June Exams, there will be two shifts. Your admit card will specify the shift for each subject. Different subjects may have different shift timings, so make sure to check the timings for each subject paper.
|
Exam Shift |
Exam Timings |
Reporting Time (Preferred) |
|
Morning Shift |
10:00 AM – 1:00 PM |
By 9:30 AM at centre gate |
|
Afternoon Shift |
2:00 PM – 5:00 PM |
By 1:30 PM at centre gate |
Candidates that arrive late will not be permitted to take the exam. The DU SOL exam centre will adhere to the reporting time. The centre will be closed 15 to 30 minutes after the exam has started. No late entries will be allowed. The travel to your centre should account for heavy traffic in Delhi during peak hours.
Late Entry Warning: Once the exam has started there is no entry allowed. Even a 20 to 30 minute late arrival will likely result in being unable to take the exam with no chance to reschedule. You should arrive well in advance of the gate opening, with at least a 30 minute cushion. For a 10:00 AM exam, be at the centre gate by 9:15 AM to 9:30 AM.
Common DU SOL Exam Locations in Delhi 2026
The DU SOL exam is held in several of Delhi University's colleges spread across different areas of Delhi. The specific exam centres for May – June 2026 will be displayed on the student's admit card. Below is a list of the DU SOL exam centre areas used in the past.
|
Delhi Area |
Type of Exam Centres |
|
North Delhi (DU Campus Area) |
DU-affiliated colleges around North Campus, Vijay Nagar, Kamla Nagar |
|
South Delhi |
DU South Campus affiliated colleges, Lajpat Nagar, Hauz Khas |
|
East Delhi |
DU colleges in Shahdara, Vivek Vihar, Dilshad Garden |
|
West Delhi |
DU colleges in Dwarka, Punjabi Bagh, Janakpuri |
|
Central Delhi |
Colleges near Connaught Place, Kashmere Gate, Daryaganj |
|
Outer Delhi / NCR |
Allotted centres in Rohini, Narela, and sometimes in the Noida border |
The address that was submitted during the admission process determines the exam centre that you have been allotted. The exam centre that you have been allotted is unlikely to be far from the address that you registered. The admit card should be checked for the exact exam centre because it is unlikely that the exam centre will be in your home area.
Pro Tip – Travel Planning: Check where the DU SOL Exam Centre 2026 is located in relation to your address the night before each exam on Google Maps. Take note of traffic in relation to your travel time — Delhi traffic from 8:00 AM – 10:00 AM can be worse than usual. If you are depending on public transport (Metro or bus), find the nearest Metro station to your centre ahead of time. Travel time can vary, so add an additional 20–30 minutes. If you are driving or taking a cab, consider where you can park near the centre — most DU college areas do not have enough parking on exam days.
Documents You Must Carry to the DU SOL Exam Centre 2026
There are documents you have to bring on all exam days this year. If you forget any of these, you will not be allowed in the exam centre.
- Printed DU SOL Admit Card 2026: This has to be printed on A4 paper, and will be your main document to gain entry. The only place this document can be printed is from the official site — a cell phone screen copy will not suffice.
- Original Valid Photo ID: You can have any one of these photo IDs — SOL Student ID Card, Aadhaar Card, Voter ID Card, Passport, and Driving Licence, but it has to be the actual card, no copies.
- Passport Size Photographs: You will need 2 of these coloured photographs to adhere to the admit card.
- Stationery: Bring 2–3 blue or black ballpoint pens, because you cannot depend on the exam centre to supply them.
Items Not Allowed at the DU SOL Exam Centre 2026
The DU SOL exam centre has certain rules that must be followed, including not allowing certain items in the exam hall. Rules that are not followed may fall under Unfair Means (UFM) regulations, leading to the cancellation of your exam results or a ban from future exams. The following items are not permitted in the exam hall:
- Mobile phones, smartphones, or any device capable of communication
- Bluetooth earphones, earbuds, or any hearing aids that are not required for listening
- Smartwatches, digital watches with datastores, or any fitness bands
- Calculators (unless allowed for a specific exam paper — read your admit card for instructions)
- Books, notes, papers, annotated or any reference material
- Storage devices, USB drives, tablets, laptops, or any other electronics
- Water bottles with a label (use a clear water bottle or remove the label)
Important: Leave all electronic devices (especially your mobile phone) in your bag or vehicle BEFORE entering the exam centre. Many DU SOL exam centres will do a security check at the entrance. Having a mobile phone in the exam hall will cause a UFM case to be filed against you, even if the mobile phone was in your bag, under your desk, and turned off. The restrictions from a UFM case are severe, including the cancellation of your results and a ban from all future exams.
What to Do If Your Exam Centre Makes a Mistake or Changes
What should you do if there is an issue with your exam centre? What if you have an incorrect address? What if you have an address that you do not recognise? What if SOL gives you a last-minute notice? Here is what you do:
- Look at the SOL notice page at sol.du.ac.in. There could be a notice about a change of your exam centre. On the 13th of June 2026, SOL would have already given a notice.
- Call the SOL helpline at 011-65213030. You should have your SOL Roll Number and your admit card with you.
- Conflicting information would be when the date sheet and the admit card do not match. The final authority for the conflict would be the date sheet notice from DU Examination Branch. However, when it comes to venue information, the date sheet, and the latest notice from SOL, and your admit card would take precedence.
- If you have not been able to resolve the exam centre issue by the day of the exam, SOL will see you in person at their office (5, Cavalry Lane, Delhi – 110007) with your admit card.
