FYUP- The Delhi University Experience

Shobit Mahajan

Department of Physics and Astrophysics, Delhi University

An invited report on the current flip-flop on the Four year Undergraduate Program at the Delhi University, introduced in the preceding academic year 2013-14 and forced to be rolled back now, when processes of admission had already began. A clear example of how a well intentioned initiative can be botched up by not engaging with all stake holders in the process and proceeded with an avoidable haste. An unnecessary emphasis on the popular media and several sections on the duration of the course – four years instead of three - miss the focus completely.
