Delhi University Revises Postgraduate History Syllabus, Drops Delhi Sultanate Paper
Delhi University has revised its postgraduate History syllabus under the National Education Policy 2020, dropping the long-standing paper on the Delhi Sultanate along with several other courses covering ancient, medieval, and modern Indian history. The omitted courses include topics like North Indian history from 1400-1550, gender and women in early India, and political structures in ancient India. Of 38 proposed electives, only 16 were included in the notified Semester III syllabus, with others still under discussion or review by an expert committee.
