New Delhi: Following University Grants Commission's (UGC) directive, the
Delhi University is all set to begin the admission process on Thursday.
The UGC has made it clear that admissions would take place for the
three-year UG programme and not FYUP.
The UGC had, yesterday, asked DU to comply by today morning with the directive to roll back four-year undergraduate programme.
However, it is still unclear whether DU will comply with the UGC directive. There was no official reaction from the University but representatives of colleges expressed difficulty in implementing without clearance from the "competent" authority.
Admissions were slated to begin on June 24 but were deferred following the stand off between DU and UGC over the Four Year Undergraduate Programme (FYUP) which led to uncertainty over the admission process that involves the fate of over 2.7 lakh students clamouring for 54,000 seats in 64 colleges.
Although 57 of 64 colleges to the university may have agreed to the
UGC order to end the controversial four-year undergraduate programme but
they can shift to the earlier format only after the varsity amends
rules in this regard, reports said.
There was no official reaction from the University but representatives of colleges expressed difficulty in implementing without clearance from the "competent" authority.
"We have agreed to the UGC's order in principle but we cannot move forward without the directive of the university. It is not an individual decision. There are too many steps," said S Lakshmi Devi, Secretary of Delhi University Principals' Association.
A defiant Delhi University Vice Chancellor Dinesh Singh made no statement but held confabulations with his supporters. One of the academicians involved in the compromise proposal talked to Mr Singh over telephone and suggested that he adopt a middle path but the Vice Chancellor continued to be defiant, the academic said.
Meanwhile, the standoff between UGC and DU continued amid efforts to break the deadlock. Reports said that a group of academicians, said to be supporters of DU Vice Chancellor Dinesh Singh, have proposed a three-year honours programme in place of the four-year course.
Ever since UGC directed DU to roll back FYUP and conduct admission for three-year programme, there has been uncertainty over the admission process that involves the fate of over 2.7 lakh students clamouring for 54,000 seats in 64 colleges.
