After a long standoff with UGC, Delhi University has agreed to scrap four-year undergradutae programme (FYUP) and revert to three-year undergraduate programme.

DU vice-chancellor Dinesh Singh issued a statement announcing the decision.

"The University of Delhi recognises the need of the hour. It is of paramount importance to protect the interests of the students by ensuring the start of the admission process. In line with the directive of the UGC the University has decided to roll back the FYUP. Consequently the admission process shall be conducted under the scheme of courses that were in force in the academic session 2012-13 in all the colleges of the University of Delhi," the statement said.

Earlier in the day, DU sent a letter to the University Grants Commission (UGC), saying it was ready to commence the stalled admission process in accordance with the regulatory body's directives — a move that media reports initially interpreted as the university' decision to finally scrap the controversial FYUP.
