DU teachers oppose FYUP changes
New Delhi: Delhi University teachers on Friday raised concerns against the university’s decision to restructure the credit points in the fourth year of the Undergraduate Curriculum Framework (UGCF), alleging that the changes were introduced without the approval of statutory bodies.
The criticism comes after the university issued a notification on Friday, revising the credit distribution for the fourth year of the Four-Year Undergraduate Programme (FYUP), increasing dissertation credits from six to 10 and reducing the number of Discipline Specific Core (DSC) papers.
“Courses listed under Discipline Specific Core (DSC) in semesters VII and VIII across all UG programmes under UGCF 2022 may be removed and be listed hereafter under the Discipline Specific Elective (DSE) pool of that discipline in the respective semesters,” the notification mentioned.
