Delhi University to award 'honours' degree to those opting for 3-year course: VC

Delhi University Vice Chancellor Yogesh Singh has announced that the varsity will also give an undergraduate honours degree to students who are opting for a three-year course. The move comes after University Grants Commission (UGC) draft norms earlier informed that students will now get an undergraduate honours degree only after completing a four-year course. 

The norms have been mentioned in Curriculum and credit framework for four-year undergraduate programs and are prepared in line with the New Education Policy (NEP). The draft norms are likely to be notified by Monday.

Singh also mentioned that the new Four-Year Undergraduate Programme (FYUP) is being implemented from the academic year 2022-23, but for at least this year the university will follow a system approved by its academic bodies. "We will allow the student to gain an honors degree after three years as well. We will follow our regulations approved by our academic bodies in August," Singh said, as reported by Livemint.

The Delhi University's Academic Executive Council in February 2022 approved the Undergraduate Curriculum Framework-2022 (UGCF-2022) as formulated by the cell of New Education Policy (NEP). The four-Year Undergraduate Programme (FYUP) offers qualifications based on the number of years completed by a student.
