The University Grants Commission (UGC) on Tuesday informed that 57 out of 64 colleges under Delhi University (DU) have agreed to revert back to three-year undergraduate programme.

Earlier today, DU Vice Chancellor reportedly resigned following the ongoing tussle between the University Grants Commission (UGC) and the DU over implementation of the Four Year Undergraduate Programme (FYUP).

The University Grants Commission (UGC) had on Sunday issued a directive to DU asking it to scrap the FYUP.

The order fuelled criticism from some quarters that the UGC was trying to over step its boundaries.

DU students as well as aspiring students have been facing a lot of difficulties due to the ongoing tiff between the UGC and the university over the FYUP.

Earlier today, the Supreme Court had dismissed a petition asking it to intervene and resolve the matter. It has instead asked the petitioner to approach the high court.
