Delhi University Teachers Association (DUTA) president Nandita Narain on Monday said that the University Grants Commission has the power to order Delhi University and, added that the former should act according to the latter's directives.
"University will decide on the admission process. We have received no communication from Delhi University authorities. UGC has the power to order DU. Delhi University should follow the Commission's orders," said Nandita.
"Admissions should not begin tomorrow until we have clarity on the situation. There is so much confusion," she added.
She also said that the admissions can be made through the system which was followed in 2012.
Yesterday, the University Grants Commission (UGC) put up three separate notices for Delhi University, the colleges under it and students and parents, saying that the four-year undergraduate programme has been scrapped.
It ordered colleges to admit students for the three-year course instead of the four-year undergraduate programme (FYUP) which had been introduced last year.

The UGC on Friday in its letter to the DU had said that the four-year programme was against the National Education Policy 1986, which envisages 10+2+3 policy and had asked them to restore the three-year programme which had been rejected by the latter.
The Delhi University later said that its four-year undergraduate programme is not against the National Education Policy (NEP) even after a directive from the University Grants Commission (UGC) asking the varsity to roll back the course.
DU students as well as aspiring students have been facing a lot of difficulties due to ongoing tiff between the UGC and university over the FYUP.
Earlier today, members of the All India Students Association (AISA) protested in front of the HRD ministry over the Four Year Undergraduate Program ( FYUP) in Delhi University.
