Delhi University (DU) on Friday commenced its new academic session and welcomed the first batch of fourth-year Four-Year Undergraduate Programme (FYUP) students.
“Of 66,000 FYUP [third-year] students, 30,014 students [45%] have opted out of the fourth year,” DU Vice-Chancellor Yogesh Singh told The Hindu.
On concerns over the lack of infrastructure and staff for fourth year FYUP students, the V-C said, “Everything is sorted out now, and if there are any issues, we will resolve them gradually.”
Several colleges conducted their orientation programme on Friday, while the remaining will hold it on Monday. Teachers reported low attendance among fourth year students, but they expect a good turnout on Monday.
