DU Academic Council approves Undergraduate Curriculum Framework 2022

DU UG Curriculum Framework 2022 proposes changes in the current system – multidisciplinary courses, multiple exit options where students can leave their UG courses after the first, second or third year with a certificate, diploma or degree. It will also pave the way for a four-year degree programme.

Delhi University's Academic Council has adopted the Undergraduate curriculum framework 2022 in line with the new National Education Policy (NEP) 2020. The university had earlier released a draft curriculum framework and sought feedback from stakeholders. The stakeholders were given the time till January 30 to submit their feedback.

Meanwhile, the move was highly criticised by the academic council members. They suggested that the UG Curriculum framework should have been sent for discussion to all statutory bodies, like the committees of courses, staff councils, faculties, before taking it to the council. The members also said the university gave only a few days to send feedback and responses shared by stakeholders on the draft curriculum framework that has not been made public.

“The University gave only 10 days for the stakeholders to respond to a restructuring which will change the landscape of UG education and have major consequences for students and teachers. No steps were taken to seek feedback from statutory bodies like Committee of Courses, Faculty and Staff Council and other democratic forums like Departmental Council,” they said.

“The feedback collected has not been shared with the members of the Academic Council. While it may be true that the University has received an “overwhelming response”, it is important to investigate the feedback for concerns stakeholders may have raised. A blind eye to concerns raised would be fatal,” they added.
