Admissions on the first cutoff were to start from Tuesday. However, the complete silence of the University Grants Commission and DU authorities through the day meant college principals were left with absolutely no directions on how to set the cutoffs. Needless to say, the anxious wait continued for students seeking admission.
1. UGC panel says to admit on 3-year pattern
The standing committee set up by University Grants Commission to advise it and Delhi University on scrapping the four-year-undergraduate programme (FYUP) and reverting to the three-year course held its first meeting on Monday afternoon and proposed a number of measures. It recommended conducting this year's admissions on the three-year pattern — in line with the 2012-13 admissions — and pointed out the need to protect the interest of students enrolled under FYUP's BTech programme.

2. DU can do what it wants: FYUP camp
While one group of students held a slightly premature celebration of the FYUP rollback-still not announced formally-a teachers' group, Academics for Action and Development (Mishra) got together to tell students, teachers and the media all the reasons the UGC doesn't have the right to intervene. On top of the list is that Delhi University is an autonomous institution and UGC's actions are in violation of that. This group also reminded that the HRD ministry and UGC, which has suddenly found FYUP "illegal", hadn't objected to its introduction last year.

3. 7 colleges tell UGC they will offer 3-year course
The see-saw battle between Delhi University and UGC over FYUP continued till late on Monday night, even as some colleges-reportedly seven of them-have written to the UGC clarifying that they will observe the traditional three-year degree course.

4. Reverting to old system won't need fresh approval
If FYUP has to be rolled back in a way that's legally tenable, what should be the steps to complete the process? According to former members of the executive council, university officials and teachers, the transition from a four-year structure to a three-year one won't be very difficult as it would simply mean reverting to the system that existed till 2012-13.
Redistribution of discipline courses and scrapping of foundation and applied courses would require the academic council's approval and course committees would have to be consulted.

5. All parties welcome rollback decision
All political parties, including Congress, have welcomed the University Grants Commission's decision on the four-year undergraduate programme. Congress, which supported Delhi University's decision to introduce FYUP, admitted it was a mistake and wants the programme to be rolled back.
"We want FYUP to be rolled back. Though it was implemented during our regime, we have realized that the students are against it. We are rethinking our stand. Now we want BJP to ensure that it is scrapped as promised in their manifesto. Our students' wing (NSUI) has always opposed it," said Arvinder Singh, president of DPCC.

6. Crisis leaves first batch in a bind
Students enrolled in the first batch of the four-year undergraduate programme are the worst placed. About to start its second year, this batch is now wondering where the potential rollback leaves them; all the more so after the UGC's communication to the colleges mentions their migration to the three-year programme. Those enrolled in courses that were launched or changed significantly with FYUP are especially concerned.

7. SRCC cutoffs out, but wait for seats on
The cutoff marks for commerce and economics at Shri Ram College of Commerce are 97.5% and 97.75% — up by 0.5 percentage points from last year. SRCC announced these despite the Principals' Association resolving to defer admissions and withhold cutoffs because the Delhi University administration steadfastly refused to handle any queries from colleges. PC Jain, SRCC principal, had even announced admissions open from Tuesday but later decided to defer.

8. No admission till picture clears
As ambiguity continued, the DU principals' association convened a meeting at Khalsa College. By then, several colleges had already decided cutoffs, some were already holding meetings and the rest had deferred the process. Instead of waiting for DU to decide, the 36 principals who attended the meeting passed a resolution in favour of deferring the process.

9. Vital questions
— What happens to Bachelor in Management Studies, which replaced three management and finance courses - BBE, BFIA, BBS? — What will happen to new courses launched by colleges with seats released from 'programme' ones? — How will withdrawal of newly-launched courses affect students already enrolled under FYUP and the workload of teachers?
