PM Modi degree of DU is authentic, says varsity registrar

New Delhi: Amid the war of words between Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) over degree of Prime Minister Narendra Modi , the Delhi University (DU) Registrar Tarun Das told the media that DU’s records showed that the bachelor degree awarded to Prime Minister Narendra Modi was ‘authentic.’

“The varsity seeks to maintain privacy of any student who is getting enrolled with it. In view of the queries the university would like to state that Prime Minister Narendra Modi had passede BA from DU. His enrolment number was CC 594/74 and examination number was 16594,” Das told a TV channel on Tuesday.

The statement was made after DU Vice-Chancellor Yogesh Tyagi turned away a delegation of four AAP leaders — Ashutosh, Sanjay Singh, Ashish Khetan and Dilip Pandey — who visited the DU campus to “inspect” the university’s records with regard to PM Modi’s marksheets and BA degree.
