Delhi University’s Standing Committee on Academic Matters has handed the draft syllabi for the primary semester of the 19 four-year undergraduate programs, whereas 4 members dissented in opposition to the decision. The college has authorized the implementation of the National Education Policy (NEP) and the four-year undergraduate programmes (FYUP) from the 2022-23 tutorial session.
In February, the Executive Council (EC) of the college handed the draft Undergraduate Curriculum Framework (UGCF), formulated based on the NEP, for the 2022-23 tutorial session.
“The draft syllabi prepared by 19 departments have been passed by Delhi University’s Standing Committee,” confirmed DU Dean of Colleges Balaram Pani.
He stated the syllabi for different programs will likely be handed within the coming days. “We have plans to pass the syllabi for all courses through the Standing Committee in the next three to four days. We will finalise the syllabus for the FYUP first semester in the next 15 days,” Pani added.
Following the Standing Committee’s approval, it is going to be introduced to the Academic Council (AC) and the Executive Council.
Four members of the committee — Rajesh Kumar, Biswajit Mohanty, Kumar Shantanu and Nidhi Kapoor — protested in opposition to the decision. The dissenting members identified the “procedural lapse of providing insufficient time for minute observation” of the syllabi of 19 topics.
The members stated that deliberating solely on the content material of the primary semester syllabi could be a “futile task”.
“Unless we examine the papers of all four years, it would be impossible to give comments on the disjunctions, overlapping, continuity or discontinuity of papers in the subsequent semesters,” they stated.
“Apart from this, a general apprehension of loss of rigour and dilution of content was felt among the representatives which was not satisfactorily addressed by the authorities,” the members famous.
