In line with the National Education Policy, Delhi University will introduce a one-year postgraduate programme starting in 2026.

The draft proposal will be discussed at the Academic Council meeting scheduled for Dec 27, according to the agenda to be tabled for the meeting.

Some teachers have criticised the move, alleging it is being rushed for discussion.

After three years, students can opt for a two-year PG course. Those completing four years can enrol in the one-year PG programme. DU is now preparing to implement this, with separate curricula being developed for one and two-year PG programmes.
