Delhi University Faces Opposition and Delays Over One-Year Postgraduate Programme Rollout
Delhi University's plan to introduce a one-year postgraduate programme from the 2026-27 session has faced opposition from the Democratic Teachers' Front (DTF), which criticizes the rollout process for lacking proper discussion and adequate infrastructure. The DTF highlights concerns over increased workload and insufficient facilities, especially for lab-based departments. Meanwhile, delays in third-semester classes for existing two-year PG students have occurred due to overlapping syllabi and shared classes with the new programme, causing student confusion and communication gaps.
