Over 55 pc DU students opt for fourth year under FYUP; VC says trend as expected
'It is as per our expectations. We expected the same kind of numbers. We are all prepared for this new beginning,' Singh told PTI. According to DU Vice-Chancellor Yogesh Singh, around 31,004 of around 71,000 eligible students have opted out of the fourth year, which means over 55 per cent have chosen to pursue the optional final year. New Delhi, Jul 31 (PTI) More than 55 per cent of Delhi University students have chosen to continue with the fourth year of studies under the Four-Year Undergraduate Programme (FYUP), ahead of the new academic session beginning August 1. The FYUP, introduced under the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, allows students to exit after one, two, or three years with a certificate, diploma, or degree respectively. Those who complete the fourth year are awarded an 'Honours with Research' degree, with a focus on research, entrepreneurship, and skill-based learning. Singh, who had earlier called the fourth year a 'game changer', said, 'This is the first time the focus is on research, entrepreneurship and skill.' The fourth year of FYUP is being implemented for the first time this year, and while the university sees the continuation rate as encouraging, some teachers' associations and educationists have raised concerns about its structure. Critics have pointed to possible dropout risks, unprepared infrastructure, and a lack of clarity about the fourth-year curriculum. There are also concerns about stretched faculty and limited funding for the programme's additional demands. Addressing these issues, the VC said, 'Don't worry. If facilities are not available, they will be created. It is in the interest of our students.' He also assured students and parents that the university has made all necessary arrangements for both first-year students and those entering the fourth year. 'It is a matter of happiness that one of the country's best higher education institutions is going to start another academic year. We will welcome our students with open arms,' he added.

Is Delhi University ready for 4-year UG programme? Teachers question
As Delhi University prepares to begin its new academic session on August 1, faculty members have raised serious concerns about the university's readiness to implement the fourth-year undergraduate programme (FYUP) and some postgraduate the new academic year at Delhi University set to begin on August 1, faculty members have voiced concerns alleging unresolved syllabus issues related to some postgraduate courses and the newly introduced fourth-year undergraduate programme (FYUP).advertisementThere was no immediate response available from the varsity over the allegations. This will be the first batch of students to enter the fourth year under the Undergraduate Curriculum Framework (UGCF), a component of the National Education Policy (NEP).However, teachers claim they are still awaiting clarity on the final syllabus, despite the proposals being approved in Executive Council meetings held on May 23 and July faculty members allege that due process has been sidestepped, and key decisions were made without adequate consultation. Many of the changes were passed despite formal dissent notes from teachers, further fuelling Dev Habib, associate professor at Miranda House, criticised what she called political overreach in academic matters."We hear that committees have been set up which are dictating terms. This is unconstitutional and is owing to excessive interference by BJP-RSS," she alleged, accusing the university administration of disregarding academic Dhusiya, an elected member of the Executive Council, said the university is not equipped to support the expanded curriculum. "DU is still not prepared for the fourth year NEP-UGCF," he said, citing shortfalls in infrastructure, budget and highlighting institutional tensions, Rudrashish Chakraborty, an associate professor at Kirori Mal College, pointed to undue external influence on academic content."Outsiders have been pressuring departments to alter syllabi," he said, noting that such interference had prompted the resignation of the head of the history department. "No academic can survive here without compromising integrity."With the clock ticking down to the start of classes, the alleged unresolved syllabus concerns cast doubts over DU's preparedness for its most significant academic transition in years.(With PTI inputs)- Ends
