UGC directs DU to stick to 3-yr undergrad course

The University Grants Commission (UGC) on Sunday put up three separate notices for Delhi University, the colleges under it and students and parents, saying that the four-year undergraduate programme has been scrapped.

It ordered colleges to admit students for the three-year course instead of the four-year undergraduate programme (FYUP) which had been introduced last year.

The UGC on Friday in its letter to the DU had said that the four-year programme was against the NEP 1986, which envisages 10+2+3 policy and had asked them to restore the three-year programme which had been rejected by the latter.

Yesterday, the Delhi University said that its four-year undergraduate programme is not against the National Education Policy (NEP) even after a directive from the University Grants Commission ( UGC) asking the varsity to roll back the course. (ANI)
