DU scraps FYUP

Under pressure from UGC, Delhi University scrapped its controversial four-year undergraduate programme and reverted to the previous three-year structure.
Vice-Chancellor Dinesh Singh asked principals to start admissions for the new session. “In line with the UGC directive, the university has decided to roll back the FYUP. The admission process shall be conducted under the scheme of courses that were in force in the academic session 2012-13 in all the colleges of the University of Delhi,“ Singh said.
The decision puts an end to the uncertainty over the admission process for 2014-15 which was triggered due to the stand-off between DU and UGC over FYUP. Over 2.7 lakh students have applied for admission to more than 54,000 seats in 64 colleges of the varsity. The admissions were to begin on June 24 but have been delayed due to the stalemate.
