Statement of upcoming DU VC, Yogesh Singh on the troubles of implementing FYUP:
The four years undergraduate program (FYUP) is a highly controversial topic and is getting lots of resistance from both DU students and teachers. Professor Yogesh Singh states that the FYUP should be students oriented. He also added that he introduced some major and minor courses at DTU last year. So, the teachers retaliated due to the workload. But, the courses are benefiting students and allowing them to take up courses they are interested in.

He said that that the implementation of NEP is more important than its formulation.
