DU council approves new UG curriculum framework with 176 credits
Hindustan TimesThe Delhi University’s Academic Council on Wednesday passed with dissent a plan to introduce the Undergraduate Curriculum Framework 2022. Aligned with the National Education Policy, the curriculum framework outlines 176 credits for a four-year honours degree and 132 credits for a three year degree. DU registrar Vikas Gupta confirmed that the Undergraduate Curriculum Framework 2022 offering 176 credits had been passed by the AC. Dissenting members also raised the issue of non-conformity of the UGCF with the draft National Higher Educational Qualification Framework which proposes 160 credits for a four-year degree along with other concerns pertaining to dilution in academic rigour and value of the degree. Abha Dev Habib, secretary, Democratic Teachers’ Federation and former EC member, said that the framework passed by the AC was not as per the draft National Higher Educational Qualification Framework.
