DU academic council to discuss second-semester syllabus on Nov 22

Delhi University's Academic Council will meet on November 22 to discuss the syllabi for the second semester of four-year undergraduate courses based on the Undergraduate Curriculum Framework. During the last meeting on October 12, the regulations regarding the same were also put forward by the University's standing committee. 

The resolutions will be brought for approval at the meeting of the Academic Council. In this, the statutory body will consider the recommendations of the standing committee on academic matters on the second-semester syllabus for core and elective courses framed by more than 50 departments.

The agenda does not yet contain syllabi from some departments such as sociology and Hindi. The Academic Council will discuss the syllabi of 100 undergraduate courses, including BA business economics (Hons), BA multi-media and mass communication (Hons), BSc electronic science (Hons) and BSc microbiology (Hons).

If approved by the Academic Council, the matter will be taken up by varsity's Executive Council, its top decision-making body. The university had approved only the first-year syllabi earlier this year. A new curriculum has been implemented from the 2022-23 academic year after the Executive Council, in February, approved an Undergraduate Curriculum Framework-2022, as formulated by a National Education Policy cell.

The meeting will also include discussions on increases in the PhD thesis submission fee from INR 3,000 to INR 5,500 for students without fellowships, and from INR 5,000 to INR 7,500 for those with fellowships. In addition, it will be considering increasing the remuneration for thesis evaluation from INR 1,500 to INR 5,000 for Indian examiners and from INR 1,500 to USD 100 for foreign examiners.
