Delhi University's Executive Council to meet on December 8 to discuss key issues
Delhi University's Executive Council will be meeting this week and will discuss allowing students to pursue two academic programmes simultaneously. Allowing simultaneous degrees was recommended in the National Education Policy (NEP 2020) and the University Grants Commission (UGC) framed guidelines earlier in May.Â
In October, the UGC directed all the Universities to make provisions for students pursuing two academic degrees simultaneously in physical mode. The DU Executive Council will be discussing the topic during the meeting scheduled to be held on December 8.Â
According to the Executive Council agenda, the council will discuss the UGC guidelines on allowing students to pursue two simultaneous academic programmes. As per the UGC guidelines, "a student can pursue two full time academic programmes in physical mode provided that the class timings of one programme do not overlap with the other. A student can pursue two full time academic programmes, one in physical mode and other in open distance learning (ODL) mode. However, students can only pursue ODL degrees or courses from those universities that are approved by the UGC. These guidelines, however, are not applicable for PhD programmes."
The DU Executive Council will also table the second-semester syllabus for more than 40 undergraduate programmes – BA, BCom, BSc and others – based on the Undergraduate Curriculum Framework (UGCF 2022) in the faculty of arts, faculty of science, faculty of mathematical sciences, faculty of commerce and business studies, faculty of music and fine arts, faculty of applied social sciences and faculty of education.Â
