Notes

  • Delhi University (DU) has implemented anti-ragging measures for the new session, including the establishment of two dedicated control rooms to monitor violations.
  • The university has issued warnings against the use of Artificial Intelligence to manipulate admission documents.
  • As of the latest report, 45,316 candidates have confirmed their admission by paying fees.
  • The National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 introduced a Four-Year Undergraduate Programme (FYUP) at DU, which allows for a one-year master's degree pathway.
  • There is a significant capacity mismatch: over 30,000 students graduated from the inaugural FYUP, but only 1,100 seats are available across 46 one-year postgraduate courses.
  • DU also maintains 13,500 seats across 74 traditional two-year postgraduate programmes.
  • Students and faculty have raised concerns regarding inadequate planning, lack of transparency in admission criteria, and unclear communication during the rollout of the one-year PG programme.
  • The university has constituted a six-member committee to evaluate requests for increasing the intake capacity in one-year postgraduate programmes, with a 10-day deadline for recommendations.
