The Duta Fyup presents a petition to the President opposing the rollout, cited the lack of faculty and infrastructure.
The Delhi University Teachers Association (Duta) has strongly opposed the implementation of a four -year graduate program (FYUP) under the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, called it “a recipe for failure”. On Monday, Duta submitted a petition to the President of India, highlighting serious issues related to academics, infrastructure and policies reported by news agency PTI.
The petition supported by about 2,000 faculty members was submitted through the Ministry of Education. The President, as the visiting of the University of Delhi, has the right to review the matter.
At a press conference, Duta President Prof. Ak Bhagi said the biggest issue is that Du is a shortage of resources and employees to manage the fourth year under FYUP. He said, “We need more teachers and better infrastructure to handle the increase in students’ intake. Right now, we have neither,” he said.
Duta also asked to return the draft of Rule 2025 of the UGC (University Grants Commission), arguing that such major changes should not be presented without the Pay Review Committee (PRC) report. He urged the government to remove concerns related to the conditions of faculty service.
Profugi warned that implementing FYUP without adequate classes, infrastructure and teachers can damage the education of students. “This is a plan to fail. If it comes at the cost of academic independence, we will not accept financial assistance,” he said. Duta demanded special funds to help colleges upgrade their facilities.
Duta Secretary Dr. Anil Kumar said that the draft of the UGC rules should not be prepared as they are. He said that he should be aligned with the upcoming 8th Pay Commission after extensive discussion with faculty and other stakeholders.
Teachers’ bodies increased many concerns, including:
- Crowd classes and laboratories
- Delay in academic calendar
- High -stricken faculty
- Poor alignment of online learning platforms like Swayam and MOOC with DU course
Duta opposed the use of these online platforms to earn academic credits, warning that it would weaken educational standards and reduce meaningful student-teacher interactions.
Duta treasurer Dr. Akanka Khurana stated that a change in poorly planned policy without a response or proper infrastructure can destabilize public universities and defeat the NEP 2020 goals.
The association also reiterated its earlier demands, such as:
- Restoring MPhil and PhD increases
- Proper recognition of previous ad hoc service for promotion
- Removal of unjust border on senior professor posts
- Two -month time limit for processing promotion
Duta Vice President Dr. Sudhanshu Kumar called for immediate recruitment of faculty through the conditions of equal service and special drives on academic posts. They highlighted the delay caused by the section “not found suitable”, which is often used to reject eligible candidates.
Prof. Aditya Narayan Mishra said, “We are not against four years of structure, but bound to fail to try to implement it without necessary resources. You have cut the teaching hours in half, doubled the number of students, doubled the number of students, and reduced the lab sessions-how is this improving education?” He warned that if their demands are ignored, the teachers may have to be taken to the streets in protest.

According to the current educational program, the fourth year of FYUP will begin on 1 August. While DU Vice Chancellor Yogesh Singh earlier called it a “game changer”, which focused on research, entrepreneurship and skill-building, Dut argues that the university lacks faculty and weaving to support such ambitions.
Finally, Duta urged both the President and the Union Ministry of Education to ensure that all reforms are based on educational freedom, teacher welfare and consultation with stakeholders, rather than forced through its proper preparation.
