DU's Academic Council to meet on August 3 to discuss syllabi for first semester of FYUP

Delhi University's Academic Council will be meeting on August 3 to discuss the syllabi for the first semester of the four-year undergraduate programmes (FYUP) in line with the newly introduced Under Graduate Curriculum Framework. Resolutions in this regard have also been put forward by the varsity's standing committee and will come up for approval during the meeting.

It must be noted that the new curriculum will be implemented from the academic session 2022-24. In February, the Executive Council (EC), DU's top decision-making body, had approved an Undergraduate Curriculum Framework-2022 (UGCF-2022), as formulated by a National Education Policy cell.

As per reports, the Academic Council (AC), headed by DU Vice-Chancellor Yogesh Singh, will be meeting on August 3 to finalise the syllabi of the FYUP, as per the agenda of the AC meeting. The syllabi of 100 undergraduate courses will come up for discussion during the meeting. Some of the courses are -- BA (Hons) Business Economics, BA (Hons) Multi-Media and Mass Communication, BSc Electronic Science and BSc (Hons) Microbiology. The syllabi have been prepared by the course committees and passed by a standing committee.

A course committee consists of five professors — two from the concerned department and three college professors. The syllabi will now be presented to the Academic Council. Following the AC's approval, the syllabi will be taken up by the EC. "The university had earlier implemented the FYUP in 2013 but the programme was scrapped by the Centre. This time, however, the FYUP will be different from the previous one," DU has said.

The AC will also consider the recommendations of an inspection committee constituted by the VC for starting an MDS (Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopaedics) course with an intake of two seats per year at the University College of Medical Sciences from this academic year, subject to approval from the funding agency. The AC will also consider the case of Rohit Gurjar for the award of PhD degree posthumously.

The AC will also "consider the recommendations of the Standing Committee (Scholarships) made at its meeting held on 17.02.2022 to increase two more number of scholarships with the enhancement of additional endowment fund of Rs Five lakh (Rs 5,00,000/-) to the following already instituted scholarship."
