Delhi University gives a nod for UGC's choice-based credit system

New Delhi: The University of Delhi has decided to go ahead with the introduction of the Choice-Based Credit System (CBCS) from the upcoming academic session apparently without the "mandate" of the varsity's Executive Council.

In an official communication to deans of all faculties on April 29, DU's joint registrar (academics) has directed them to start preparations for the implementation of CBCS.

CBCS allows students' "seamless mobility" across higher education institutions and transfer of credit earned by them.

The decision of the university came against the backdrop of a section of its teachers submitting a feedback of 40 affiliated colleges to the UGC opposing implementation of CBCS on the ground that its roll out without exhaustive deliberation would prove to be "disastrous" for the varsity.
