Delhi University Reviews Seat Increase for One-Year Postgraduate Programmes Amid Student Concerns
Delhi University has formed a six-member committee to review requests for increasing seats in its newly introduced one-year postgraduate programmes for the 2026-27 session. These programmes, launched under the National Education Policy 2020, currently offer just over 1,100 seats across 46 disciplines, which many students find insufficient compared to the 30,000 graduates from the four-year undergraduate course. Student protests have highlighted concerns over limited postgraduate capacity despite the new pathway's intent to streamline master's education.
