Delhi University Approves NEP Implementation Amid Teacher Opposition
Delhi University's Academic Council approved implementing the National Education Policy (NEP) from the 2022-23 academic year, introducing a four-year undergraduate programme with multiple entry-exit options and scrapping the MPhil course. Despite approval, 16 elected members and several teacher groups, including the Delhi University Teachers' Association (DUTA), opposed the decision, citing insufficient consultation and concerns over workload reduction and job security. The matter will proceed to the Executive Council, making implementation likely.
