University of Delhi Approves Direct PhD Admission for Four-Year Undergraduate Graduates
The University of Delhi's Academic Council approved amendments allowing students with four-year undergraduate degrees to directly enroll in PhD programs, following recommendations from the Research, Innovation and Entrepreneurship Council. The council also renamed the School of Open Learning to the Centre for Distance and Online Education and introduced the Arun Jaitley Scholarship for undergraduate sports achievers. Some council members raised concerns about unclear reservation norms for direct-entry undergraduates and the limited university-funded fellowships for PhD scholars without JRF support.
