GE Others is a database placeholder for unmapped Generic Elective papers, not a separate syllabus (subjects.json lists GE Others). As per the live GE pool listings at du.ac.in, academicaffairs.du.ac.in and college mirrors like shivaji.du.ac.in, every real GE has a department-specific title (e.g., Economics, Mathematics, Political Science, Psychology, Hindi) with 4 credits (typically 3L+1T or 3L+1P) and examination 90 theory +30 internal +40 practical where applicable; there is no distinct 'Others' PDF with its own units. For any paper coded as Others, students should verify the exact GE title and paper code from their college GE handbook or the exam.du.ac.in UPC list (e.g., nep-upc-sem2.pdf live). Students lose marks by treating 'Others' as a generic GE and not confirming the actual subject, which varies by college (as of 12 Sept 2026).
