Toughening its stand on Sunday, University Grants Commission (UGC) asked Delhi University and all its colleges to conduct admissions only under the three-year undergraduate programme and not under the controversial FYUP while warning of 'consequences' if its direction is violated.
The UGC direction for the coming academic session came a day after Delhi University struck a defiant note, rejecting the commission's directive to scrap the controversial four-year undergraduate programme (FYUP).
'Under no circumstances shall the University of Delhi or any of the colleges under it admit students to the FYUP for academic year 2014-15,' the commission said in a statement.
'And further that any deviation from this directive either by the University of Delhi or any of the colleges under it shall be deemed to be in contravention of the UGC Act, 1956 with its consequences,' it said.
