DU shares Undergraduate Curriculum Framework 2022 draft, Seeks feedback

A statement released by DU informed that it has uploaded the draft Undergraduate Curriculum Framework 2022 (UGCF-2022) on its official website and a link for submitting feedback through a Google form is active until January 31

The University of Delhi has released a draft Undergraduate Curriculum Framework 2022 (UGCF-2022) seeking feedback from stakeholders. The draft has been formulated in accordance with the National Education Policy. A statement released by DU informed that it has uploaded the draft on its official website and a link for submitting feedback through a Google form is active until January 31. The decision to seek feedback has been take considering the criticism received by a section of teachers saying that it was not discussed in the Academic Council meeting of the university.

The varsity said, “The Draft UGCF is being circulated among the stakeholders as well as placed on the website of the University (www.du.ac.in) for the purpose of seeking views from all the stakeholders with special reference to students, parents, academicians, recruiters among others, through a Google Form.”

According to Academic Council member Mithuraaj Dhusiya, this is the fourth template that the varsity has circulated within this last year in order to introduce the NEP with effect from the academic year 2022-23. “Each draft has varied wildly on fundamentals such as course structure.

Cosmetic changes cannot hide the impending job loss. This particular draft has not even been discussed in Academic Council," he said.

Former Delhi University Teachers' Association (DUTA) treasurer Abha Dev Habib said the Executive Council had approved a framework with 196 credits on August 31 amidst dissents.

In December, the university circulated to colleges and departments two more draft FYUP frameworks of 184 and 164 credits, she said.

She further added, “This is the fourth model. While the UGC seems to be bringing guidelines for a four-year undergraduate programme of 160 credits. This shows that the very idea of a single structure leading to multiple types of certifications is so flawed that meaningful FYUP is not possible."
