Students enrolled in undergraduate and postgraduate programs at Delhi University may pursue both courses simultaneously with the approval of the Academic Council. The university's decision-making body, the Academic Committee and the Administrative Committee played an important role in this agreement. However, in the same meeting, decisions related to twin degrees and conducting courses in other institutions were postponed, according to an official statement.
The Academic Council, together with the Executive Committee, has final authority over the University's decisions. The Academic Council initially agreed to receive double degrees in a meeting held yesterday. The final decision is pending the approval of the Executive Committee, the highest governing body of the university. According to the statement, the university outlined its methods for implementing the dual degree program, initially proposing that students earn a degree through a combination of full-time and distance learning.
Despite the approval, a faction within the academic council expressed opposition to the resolution on dual degrees, raising concerns about the potential dilution of degrees and compromised education quality. The university established a committee in December 2022 to explore the feasibility of a joint degree program in accordance with the provisions of the National Education Policy 2020, as per the statement.
