DU student organisation to hold protest today against FYUP, fee hike and other issues
Students organisation will stage a protest today against the Delhi University academic council's decision to pass the undergraduate courses in four-year undergraduate programmes (FYUP), increase the fees and other issues. The protest has been organised by various student organisations such as the SFI, KYS, AIDSO, AISF, AISA, DSF, BSCEM, CTF, DISHA, etc. The protest will take place at gate number one, in front of the vice-chancellor's office from 10 am to 11:30 am.
DU plans to implement the new curriculum from the academic year 2022-23 itself. As many as 100 undergraduate course syllabi will come up for discussion during the DU academic council meeting. Delhi university had previously implemented the FYUP in 2013, but it got scrapped by the Union government then.
It must be noted that the Delhi University academic council is meeting today to discuss the syllabi for the first semester of FYUP. The protestors have also urged to reject the hurried exercise by Delhi University to dilute degrees, job loss for teachers, passing the syllabi only for the first semester papers, and the blanket authorisation to the vice-chancellor to notify modifications in syllabi, coursework, and examination.
The protesting organisations also stated the decision was un-academic and over 70,000 students studying at DU will suffer due to the decision taken by the DU academic council.
In a recent letter sent by the Delhi University statutory body members, the DU academic council approved the UGCF-2022 in the month of February, as formulated by a National Education Policy cell. As per them, "a rigorous exercise including the teachers of various colleges has to be held while framing the syllabus to make sure that the students receive the best academic knowledge as per the UG degree they opt for."
