Delhi University's FYUP (four-year undergraduate programme)

I recently attended a workshop on DU’s undergraduate programme. Owing to the reforms that the university is planning from  this year onwards, for the batch that’s always been the harbinger of reforms and the “gold” on which all acid tests are done, the brouhaha over its pros and cons was only obvious. Considering that It can even prove career-altering for many, its justibiable too.

Here's everything everyone wanted to know about it.

The new programme is divided into 4 broad categories of subjects, viz., Major, Minor, Foundation, Applied.

As  the Vice Chancellor stated in his bilingual speech  aimed at decluttering the confusion that he claimed is being created by media. While our major subject is going a transmutation itself, including a research in the fourth year. The second discipline provides us scope to broaden our field of work by increasing our knowledge base.

The applied courses aim at increasing our employability or facilitaing/imparting entrepreneurial abilities. The foundation courses, although adding too much weight to the curriculum, would develop the basic skills.

there's a catch for all those opposing it: free laptops loaded with lectures and notes will be provided. 

Last word:I must say that he succeeded in convincing us but ultimately our destiny would be determined by the success of its implementation. Despite a great intention, action is everything after all....
