Students protest UGC’s ‘common’ syllabus, ‘transferable’ faculty proposal

“The government is trying to thrust anti-student policies on universities such as the CBCS and the Central Universities Act. The real and dangerous agenda of the proposed Central Universities Act is to enforce ‘uniformity’,” Ashutosh Kumar, JNUSU president, said.

Students said like the FYUP, the Choice-Based Credit System diluted the quality of Honours courses and overburdened students and teachers with a concoction of uninformed foundation, core and elective papers.

“The present system lacks teachers and infrastructure. To this system, you add new foundation and core courses which the students have no use for.

This government must realise that we aren’t their guinea pigs,” Rajinder, a DU student, said.
