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.
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....
