New article for B.Tech to be 4-year course for those admitted in 2015-16

In a relief to two hundreds of students, the Delhi University was directed by UGC to continue with the four-year B.Tech programme for those admitted in academic year 2015-16, bringing to an end the uncertainty following rollback of the controversial FYUP.

The directive by the University Grants Commission(UGC) came even as scores of BTech and BMS students staged a protest outside the residence of Human Resource
Development Minister Smriti Irani, demanding thattheir four-year courses should not be scrapped. A meeting of the Standing Advisory Committee is being convened tomorrow to discuss about the fate of the Bachelor in Management Studies (BMS) course.
