Delhi University's FYUP: A Bold Step or a Misstep?

Delhi University's Four-Year Undergraduate Programme under NEP 2020 is seeing 72% of eligible students opting for the fourth year. While Vice Chancellor Singh lauds it as a game changer, skeptics worry about dropout rates and resource constraints. The university remains committed to addressing these concerns before August 1.

Delhi University's new Four-Year Undergraduate Programme (FYUP) under NEP 2020 has received a strong endorsement, with 72% of eligible students opting to continue with the fourth year, according to Vice Chancellor Yogesh Singh.

The program, which offers multiple exit points and an Honours with Research degree in the fourth year, begins across campuses on August 1. However, concerns persist among educators regarding potential dropout rates and resource limitations.

Despite these challenges, Singh promises improvements, emphasizing the university's commitment to student interests amid critical infrastructural needs, as the overhaul of the undergraduate curriculum faces its ultimate test.
