Delhi University Faces Opposition Over One-Year Postgraduate Programme Rollout and Admissions
Delhi University's plan to expand its one-year postgraduate programme has faced opposition from the Democratic Teachers' Front (DTF), which criticizes the rollout process for lacking proper discussion in statutory bodies and for straining existing infrastructure and faculty resources. The university has invited colleges to propose courses and student intake for the 2026-27 session via WhatsApp, raising concerns about decision-making transparency. Meanwhile, admissions for the current one-year PG programme are delayed, causing confusion as some departments combine classes with regular postgraduate students.
