On Wednesday evening, students of Delhi University’s (DU) MA Philosophy programme sat on plastic chairs with backpacks and notebooks spread across their laps in a corridor, as a faculty member conducted a class.
The timetable for Semester 1 students of MA Philosophy – issued for the August-December period – explicitly states that at least two classes will be conducted in the corridor every Wednesday.
Asked about the timetable mentioning “corridor”, Ray said: “We have mentioned the word corridor for terminological convenience.
In 2023, The Indian Express had reported on space constraints on DU campus as it prepared to implement the NEP’s Four-Year Undergraduate Programme (FYUP).
With over 70,000 new undergraduate students added each year to its over 70 affiliated colleges, accommodating an added fourth year has further strained DU’s already limited resources.
