The DTF wrote to VC Yogesh Singh regarding the evaluation scheme for the fourth-year undergraduates not being released after the increase in credits from 6 to 10 earlier this year.
On the 6th of November, 2026, the Democratic Teacher’s Front (DTF) at Delhi University asked the administration to release an evaluation scheme for the fourth-year-undergraduates programmes. The letter addressed to Vice Chancellor Yogesh Singh stated that the students and faculty members are waiting for clarification on the assessment process, as the seventh semester is nearing completion.
This demand came after a notification which was released earlier this year on the 10th of July, increasing credits for the dissertation, academic project or entrepreneurship track from 6 to 10 credits this year, raising the corresponding marks from 240 to 400.
According to the notification, the 4 credits assigned earlier to the Discipline Specific Core courses were shifted to entrepreneurship and research courses. Students are required to select elective courses in each semester from Discipline Specific Elective and General Elective options.
According to the DTF, the university has not yet released an evaluation scheme for the revised 10-credit system, carrying 400 marks. They also raised concerns over the academics for fourth-year students, particularly involving Scopus-indexed research papers, books, book chapters, patents and presentations at national and international conferences. The committee also advised that a feedback form from the students and teachers be taken into consideration while forming the revised rules.
