Delhi University's Vice Chancellor Yogesh Singh has said that the new curriculum for the first year students under the four-year undergraduate programme will be ready in two-three months.
The University of Delhi Vice-Chancellor, Yogesh Singh, has recently said that the new curriculum for the first year students under the four-year undergraduate programme will be ready in two-three months. The Undergraduate Curriculum Framework (UGCF), prepared in accordance with the National Education Policy (NEP), was approved by the executive council of the university on February 11.
Delhi University's VC added that students who will get admissions to DU via CUET 2022 will study the new curriculum.
The UGCF will include two features of the National Education Policy 2020 - The multidisciplinary approach and the multiple entry and exit scheme (MEES). Under MEES, students can exit at the end of an academic year with a degree.
As per the draft, students will have to earn 176 credits at the end of the fourth year of their undergraduate degree. Further, they need to earn a minimum of 50 percent credits in a discipline to get the degree with a major in the same discipline.
"Our framework makes it mandatory that a student will need 176 credits for a degree. A student will have to earn extra credits. We will award a degree only with 176 credits," says the Vice-Chancellor, as reported by PTI.
