DU VC told to explain haste in announcing credit system

NEW DELHI: Taking a serious view of Delhi University's decision to announce choice-based credit system (CBCS), HRD ministry has sought an explanation from vice-chancellor Dinesh Singh asking him why it has been done without preparing the ground work.

The ministry said that DU had not followed the necessary process before announcing it. A senior ministry official has also told the university that half-baked approach could create confusion among students and parents. "We have told DU that announcing credit transfer without any preparation will be like the four-year-undergraduate-programme."

DU's Academic Council passed a resolution to implement University Grants Commission's choice-based credit system on January 21, 2015, but with as many as 14 opposing it - more than any at the time of FYUP. The meeting was unexpectedly adjourned and then reconvened after some members had already left. The meeting continued till late in the evening due to prolonged discussions on the CBCS.

Just a day earlier, six members of AC wrote to Singh asking that the timeframe proposed by UGC for implementing the choice-based credit system — from the 2015-16 session — be set aside. Reminding the V-C of the bitter experience with FYUP, the academics cautioned Singh against putting DU through yet another reform, and again in such haste.

The AC members propose a method of introducing courses that they have been demanding since the FYUP debacle began — wide consultation with college and department teachers, publicly circulated documents, workshops and seminars. At the same time, the impact of the reforms have to be assessed. HRD wants DU to get the entire structure of credit transfer which includes short-listing of courses vetted by UGC so that in case a student moves to another university credit transfer is valid and acceptable. Ministry expects that by the next academic year all 39 central universities will adopt credit transfer system. So far, 26 central universities have moved to credit transfer but not in all subjects.
