DU Admissions 2022: Batch Size Increased, Teachers Disapprove of the Modification

DU Admissions 2022: The Action and Development Delhi Teacher’s Association have demanded that the recent notification announcing an increase in batch size for DU admissions 2022 be withdrawn. They opine that the Tutorial size has increased by 300%, which may compromise the quality of education offered. 

According to the notification issued by Delhi University, there are to be 60 students for lectures, 35 for practical classes, and 30 for tutorials for undergraduate courses. On the other hand, the postgraduate batch can have 50 students for lectures, 25 for tutorials, and 15-20 for practical classes.

University Registrar Vikas Gupta stated that the university modified its rule to bring more uniformity in the student-teacher ratio across all programmes. However, it should be noted that the batch size increase does not include supernumerary seats that constitute 5% of the total strength allocated to students from sports and other quotas. 

However, as stated earlier, most teachers are unhappy with this decision concerning DU admissions 2022. The Democratic Teachers Front (DTF) says the decision contradicts Learning Outcome-Based Curriculum Framework (LoCF) norms adopted by DU Academic Council. DTF members also state that the university authorities issued the notification without prior notice to the statutory bodies despite a meeting on Nov 22.
