Delhi University Revises PG History Syllabus, Drops Delhi Sultanate Paper and Other Electives
Delhi University has revised its postgraduate History syllabus, removing the long-standing paper on the Delhi Sultanate, which examined political authority and cultural developments in 13th-14th century North India. The revised Semester III syllabus, notified on August 7, also excludes several other elective courses covering ancient, medieval, and modern Indian history. Of 38 proposed Discipline Specific Elective papers, only 16 were included. The changes align with curriculum restructuring under the National Education Policy 2020, with the Delhi Sultanate period still covered in undergraduate courses.
