UGC gives #Delhi University a day to scrap FYUP

Leaving little scope for Delhi University to defy the government on the four-year undergraduate programme (FYUP), the University Grants Commission on Sunday issued another directive to the varsity to revert to the three-year course and, this time, asked for a compliance report by forenoon on Monday.

UGC, which controls the university’s purse strings, told DU that any deviation from the directive shall be “deemed to be in contravention of the UGC Act, with its consequences”. This is the second directive by UGC on scrapping FYUP in the past few days. The previous one was sent on Friday.
