Several members of Delhi University’s statutory bodies have urged the university to defer the implementation of four-year undergraduate programmes by one year, saying students have a right to know full syllabus of these courses. The development comes days before DU’s Academic Council meeting on August 3 to discuss syllabus of the first semester of the four-year undergraduate programmes (FYUP) based on the newly introduced Under Graduate Curriculum Framework (UGCF).

In a letter to Vice-Chancellor Yogesh Singh, four Academic Council members, including Prof Ratnesh Saxena and Dr Meghraj, and a member of University Court -- Aman Kumar -- voiced that the UGCF-2022 is being implemented "without proper planning and vision". For the August 3 meeting, the university has put on the agenda the syllabus of various departments for one semester only which the university was earlier planning for two semesters at the beginning of this year, the members mentioned.

The new curriculum will be implemented from the academic year 2022-23. The Executive Council (EC), DU’s highest decision-making body, had in February approved the UGCF-2022, as formulated by a National Education Policy cell. The framing of the syllabus needs a "rigorous exercise" and teachers of various colleges are to be involved to ensure that the future generations get the best academic knowledge as per the undergraduate degree that they opt for, they said.
