Terming the matter urgent, as DU is to begin admission to undergraduate programmes from Tuesday, UGC said that it is reiterating its directives of June 20.
"Admission for academic year 2014-15 at the undergraduate level in the general degree programmes (including the Honours programme in different subjects of Humanities, Science and Commerce) in various colleges under the University of Delhi shall only be to the 3-year undergraduate programme which was offered prior to the introduction of the FYUP," UGC said in its order to college principals.
Not only did UGC send letters to DU and its colleges, it also published on Sunday a public notice, informing students, parents and the general public that FYUP is not in consonance with the National Policy on Education (1986) and the 10+2+3 structure envisaged under it, and that the university has not followed the procedure prescribed in the DU Act, 1922.
"Students are hereby informed that they shall seek admission in a college of DU only to the three-year undergraduate programmes which were prevalent prior to the introduction of FYUP and not to FYUP and shall pay fees only for the 3-year programme," the public notice, displayed on the UGC website, said.
Coming to the rescue of second-year students who have already studied under FYUP for a year during 2013-14, the UGC directed the university to make arrangements for their migration to the three-year structure.
For this purpose, UGC has constituted a 10-member committee to advise DU on implementation of the directive.
The committee includes the UGC vice-chairman, presidents of Delhi University Teachers' Association and the university's students' union among others.
"This would be necessary especially from the view point of ensuring that students who were admitted under FYUP are able to migrate to the 3-year programme without any difficulty and acquire necessary academic and other competencies during the next two academic years," UGC said in its order.
The fight against FYUP intensified after the BJP came to power. Various delegations of students and teachers from DU met Human Resources Development Minister Smriti Irani, urging her to abolish FYUP.
Following this, DU Vice-chancellor Dinesh Singh invited DUTA members for talks on June 1, a first since his appointment in 2010.
Irani told a delegation that she will hold widespread consultations on this matter at all levels.
The UGC had earlier on June 13 asked DU to review the programme as it felt that it was in violation of the NPE. But DU held its ground and replied that it has followed due procedure in bringing FYUP. Victory rally DUTA, along with several student organisations such as AISA and ABVP, has been protesting against FYUP.
Welcoming the UGC order ABVP said that they will take out a victory rally on Monday.
"We have been fighting against FYUP from the start. Thanks to Smriti Iraniji, students will finally get relief," said Delhi University Students' Union President Aman Awana.
