Four-Year Undergraduate Programme –

In 2013, Delhi University introduced four- year degree programme for its undergraduate

courses and replacing the earlier 3-year programme. As the University launched the 4-year

programme, it also brought many structural changes in teaching methodology and made

the programmes more flexible suiting to the different needs of students, parents and

industry. The University now offers the following degrees for its undergraduate

programmes:

Bachelor with Honours (4 Academic Years)

Bachelor (3 Academic Years)

Diploma (2 Academic Years)

DU, through its all-new 4-year undergraduate programme across disciplines aims to

encapsulate the changes in the present Indian education system. According to University

officials, the thought process behind introduction of the 4-YUP is to restrain the

overburdening of the classical mode of theory-based dissemination of knowledge within the

closed lecture halls and thus redefining the knowledge process.

If you are taking admission in University of Delhi the current academic session, you will

be ensured with a multiple degree option.

Multiple Degree Options under 4-YUP: What does it mean?

As per the guidelines of the 4-Year Undergraduate Degree Programme (4-YUP), if you

wish or have to leave college after two years, DU shall acknowledge your education and

award you a Diploma.

Not only this, you can return to DU in the future to complete your education. Similarly, if

you wish or have to leave after three years, DU shall give you a Bachelor’s degree with a Major Subject.

However, if you successfully complete your course in DU after 4 years, you will be awarded

a Bachelor with Honours Degree.

The university has divided the course curriculum in bi-semesters, so that you can excel in

your academics with more attention towards practical learning.
