The National Students' Union of India (NSUI) released its manifesto for the Delhi University Students' Union (DUSU) elections, urging the university to scrap the four‑year undergraduate curriculum.
The National Students' Union of India (NSUI) unveiled its election manifesto ahead of the Delhi University Students' Union (DUSU) polls. The document outlines the student wing's key demands, the most prominent being the termination of the four-year undergraduate programme currently implemented across several faculties.
NSUI representatives argued that the extended duration places an undue financial and academic burden on students, especially those from economically weaker sections. They cited rising tuition fees and delayed entry into the job market as additional concerns.
The manifesto also calls for greater transparency in university administration, increased scholarships, and the introduction of skill‑based courses to improve employability. NSUI plans to campaign on these issues throughout the election period, seeking support from the student community.
University officials have not yet responded to the specific demand to revert to a three-year degree structure. The DUSU election, scheduled for later this month, is expected to become a focal point for broader debates on higher‑education reforms in the capital.
