NEW DELHI: The only group of students which had been opposing the rollback of the FYUP has called off its protest after an assurance by the University Grants Commission on Tuesday.
Students demonstrating outside the UGC office and on North Campus were told that their course would not be scrapped even if the three-year format is restored.The students were opposing the rollback as they won't be left with any specialization after finishing their course.
About 3,000 students are pursuing BTech in various colleges introduced along with FYUP. The UGC directed the university and its colleges to restore the earlier format and ensure migration of the FYUP batch to 3-year structure.
In that case, BTech students would have graduated with a BSc degree. DU was told to enrol new applicants under the earlier courses, failing which the UGC might freeze funds to the university.
The standing committee proposed that these students should be allowed to complete the fourth year and be given the degree . There is still no clarity on whether the courses will be offered.
