Delhi: The new proposal to detach undergraduate colleges from Delhi University (DU) and put them under the National Knowledge Commission (NKC) has created uproar among the students. According to the new proposal, the students would not get DU but NKC degrees. But the students feel that DU name on the certificate matters, and it proffers priority while seeking jobs or scholarships.
This situation is the result of a plan to let universities focus on post-graduation courses and research, and easing them off the burden of running undergraduate colleges.

The proposal is also opposed by the Delhi University Teacher’s Association (DUTA) saying that DU colleges attract the best students of the country. Moreover, the name itself is so influential that it acts as a feeder to university departments for Master’s courses and PhDs.
