Delhi University today wrote to the UGC, saying it was working on a response in accordance with the "spirit of your directives" to ensure the admission process starts very soon.

"I am directed to state that the University is in the process of drafting a response in accordance with the spirit of your directives to ensure that the admission process start very soon. We will sent it to you at the earliest," DU told the UGC.

It was responding to repeated directives from the UGC for reverting to the three-year undergraduate programme, shunning the four-year programme at the earliest.

UGC yesterday sent another letter to DU asking it to roll back the FYUP and immediately begin undergraduate admissions even as it sought legal opinion on the compromise formula proposed by the varsity.
 
DU had earlier offerred a compromise formula. The university is of the opinion that given the situation where admissions are being delayed, a blended proposal submitted by some eminent persons to UGC and DU may provide the way forward, its Registrar Alka Sharma had said.
