When Is the DU SOL BA Result 2026 Released?
DU SOL results are not announced for all courses and semesters at once. They are published in a phased manner, course-wise and semester-wise. For the current academic cycle, the odd semester exams (Semesters 1, 3, 5, and 7) conducted in November-December 2025 had their results published in phases during March-April 2026. Results for the BA Programme, B.Com, and other honours courses were among those published in the initial phases. The semester exams (Semesters 2, 4, 6, and 8) commence from June 19, 2026, and following the university’s usual trend of publishing results 2-3 months after the last exam, results for this semester are expected between August and September 2026.
Info: A course is considered “declared” by DU SOL in a batch-wise manner. Even after a course is declared, it can take some time for the data to reflect against individual students’ roll numbers. Because of this, students from the same course might see their results at different times.
How to Check Your Result: Comprehensive Guide
- Step 1: Visit the official result portal at sol.du.ac.in. You can also use exam.du.ac.in or admission.sol.du.ac.in/marksheet/Marksheet.aspx.
- Step 2: Find the result link for your programme (BA, BA Hons, B.Com, B.Com Hons, BBA) and semester (1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc.). Don’t click a link that doesn’t exactly match your programme and session.
- Step 3: Enter your SOL Roll Number or Exam Roll Number, followed by your date of birth in DD/MM/YYYY format.
- Step 4: Complete the captcha and submit.
- Step 5: The result page should show your Theory marks, Internal Assessment (IA) marks, aggregate score, and result status (pass/ER). Save and print this for your records.
Please Note: If you get a message stating “No Record Found,” it doesn’t indicate a problem or that your result hasn’t been released. It most typically means the data hasn’t synced to the system yet, or you’ve entered a detail incorrectly. Make sure your roll number and date of birth are correct, and if the issue persists, check back after 24-48 hours.
Interpreting Your Marks and Status
Your DU SOL BA result displays marks obtained for Theory and Internal Assessment (IA), along with their aggregate. To pass a subject, you must obtain a minimum of 33% in Theory, 33% in Internal Assessment, and 33% in the aggregate. This is the most confusing part of the result: a good total doesn’t necessarily mean you’ve passed. For instance, if a student scores 28 out of 75 in Theory and 20 out of 25 in IA, the total is 48 out of 100, which looks fine at a glance — but the student has actually failed, since the Theory score of 28 falls below the passing mark of 30 (33% of 75). It’s important to check the Theory and IA scores separately rather than relying solely on the total.
What Do ER, RA and Ab Mean in My Result?
- ER (Essential Repeat): You haven’t met the passing criteria and will need to reappear for the same subject in the upcoming examination.
- RA (Result Awaited): Your result for that subject is still being processed and isn’t final yet.
- Ab (Absent): You’ve been marked absent for that subject’s examination. If you actually attended the exam but this status is showing, you must visit the SOL office (North or South Campus) in person, along with your signed attendance sheet and admit card, for verification within 15 days.
Tip: Don’t rely on forwarded links or third-party websites. Bookmark the official DU SOL results webpage instead, since unofficial sources can carry inaccurate or outdated results.

Steps to Revaluation
DU SOL offers answer sheet revaluation for candidates who feel they should have been awarded more marks. The revaluation link opens on the Samarth Portal approximately 10 to 15 days after results are declared. The revaluation fee is around ₹1,000 per paper, payable through the university’s online fee portal. The revaluation form must be downloaded from the SOL website and submitted, along with the fee receipt, to the DDCE/SOL office. Revaluation results are usually declared within 4 to 8 weeks from the date the application is accepted, so it’s best to apply as early as possible within the revaluation window.
What to Do If There Are Errors in the Marksheet
Marksheets from DU SOL are usually free from issues; however, some students have reported missing results, misspelt names, and incorrect roll number entries. If you notice an issue of this nature, it’s best to be proactive and contact SOL’s exam department directly, since such issues are unlikely to resolve on their own. Keep your ID card, admit card, and all marksheets handy, as these will be required to verify and issue corrections.
Is the Marksheet Acceptable for Employment and Further Studies?
The DU SOL result portal confirms that the provisional marksheet available online is acceptable for employment and postgraduate admissions. However, during verification, employers and registrars may still request the original consolidated marksheet or degree, which the university distributes at a later date. If required, the provisional marksheet can also be authenticated by the Executive Director, SOL, DU.
What to Do After Checking Your Result
- Download and save your marksheet: Keep both a digital copy and a printout for future reference.
- Check your eligibility for the next semester: Confirm you’ve met attendance and academic requirements before the next session begins.
- Apply for revaluation if needed: If you plan to challenge your marks, don’t delay, since this is a time-bound process.
- Prepare for backlog exams: If you have an ER status in any subject, start preparing early for the next available exam cycle.
- Update your academic records: Upload your marksheet wherever required, such as for scholarships, internships, or further admissions.
Where Can I Check My Internal Assessment (IA) Marks?
Internal Assessment (IA) marks are typically available on your study centre portal on SOL LMS, or directly through your study centre, before the final result is published. Many students focus only on the final consolidated result and forget to check their IA marks separately. If your IA marks seem disproportionately low, check your assignment submission records, since a missed or late submission is the most common reason for a low IA score. Study centres can usually rectify IA scores before the final result is compiled, provided the issue is raised early rather than after the result is out.
