Delhi University's Four-Year Undergraduate Programme Faces Limited One-Year Master's Seats
Delhi University's first batch of Four-Year Undergraduate Programme (FYUP) students faces challenges in progressing to master's studies due to limited one-year postgraduate seats. While DU offers 2,565 seats across 46 one-year master's programmes primarily for its own graduates, other universities provide fewer options. The FYUP, introduced under the National Education Policy, also allows direct PhD applications without a master's degree. Approximately 75,948 students enrolled in 2022-23, with many opting for the optional fourth year to strengthen research foundations.
