Delhi university VC resigns over raging 4-year course row

June 24, 2014 15:12

Just in: Delhi university vice chancellor Dinesh Singh has resigned over the four-year under-graduate course row. Admissions to the Delhi University were to start today, but colleges have held their cut-off list.

The UGC has ordered colleges to stop admitting students under the four-year programme, which was introduced despite strong opposition from teachers and student bodies.

The university's Vice Chancellor Dinesh Singh, was yet to respond to the directive to end the four-year system, this morning. Singh's defiance may provoke the UGC to take legal action to remove him and his resignation is being seen as a preemptive measure.
