During a recent meeting, Delhi University's Academic Council (AC) approved several one-year postgraduate programs in alignment with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020. The council also introduced guidelines allowing students to earn up to 5% of their total credits from courses on SWAYAM and other Massive Open Online Courses (MOOC) platforms. This decision faced opposition from academics who raised concerns about the potential academic implications and criticized the abrupt end to discussions on the matter. Monami Sinha, an elected AC member, noted that the meeting was adjourned when dissent was expressed, leaving many unclear about the final decisions. Despite the dissent, DU registrar Vikas Gupta confirmed that the SWAYAM and MOOC proposal was passed and would be forwarded to the Executive Council for approval. Additionally, the council approved a Semester Away Program (SAP), allowing students to complete one semester at foreign higher education institutions, with credits counting towards their degrees. The meeting also saw the approval of various other programs, including a two-year MA Philosophy and several super-speciality courses, while a new Research, Innovation, and Entrepreneurship Council was proposed.
