Delhi University's first NEP 2020 batch can soon complete their final yr semester abroad

The students of Delhi University's first batch of NEP 2020 will soon have the opportunity to complete a semester of their final year at a foreign university, pending approval of recommendations from a committee tasked with operationalising the initiative.

These students, who are also the first batch of the Four-Year Undergraduate Programme (FYUP), will have the option to undertake a semester abroad at select Foreign Higher Educational Institutions (FHEIs) under a new twinning degree arrangement introduced by the university earlier this year.

A committee set up to determine the modalities for implementing the twinning degree arrangement has submitted its recommendations, which will be presented to the university's Academic Council for consideration on December 27.

According to the recommendations, the undergraduate students enrolled at the Delhi University from the 2022-23 academic year onwards will be permitted to study at a foreign university during their seventh semester.
