THE HYPE BEHIND FYUP

By

The Four Year Undergraduate Program that was due to be implemented from this session in the Delhi University have come under great criticism and scrutiny from various social as well as student groups in the recent days. The events have led to the creation of such circumstances that have led to the offer of resignation from the Chancellor of DU. The hype created over this issue have affected the future decisions of thousands of students who wish to take admission in the Delhi University after completing their schooling.

What is FYUP?


The four year undergraduate program is ought to be a visionary concept by the Chancellor of Delhi University that is bound to change the way Indian student learns after their schooling. The current system of the undergraduate program offers bachelor degree after three years of studies. The new system is set to convert the traditional 3 year program into a more holistic one that is spread over four years with the first year entirely dedicated to mandatory foundation courses in interdisciplinary subjects to make an individual equipped with the vast pool of knowledge in a variety of subjects instead of single subject specialization currently. This kind of program is seen internationally among reputed universities and also in the form of B. Tech program in science stream in the country.

FYUP in the Positive Sense


The four year undergraduate program offers a student specialization in interdisciplinary subjects at the same time and equips him more professionally to cope with the ever dynamic and changing business and economic environment. It makes his dual specialist in one go and helps in more holistic development of the individual through foundation courses that are being offered in the first year itself. The person who opts for a four year program has the benefit of being automatically eligible to international standards of different universities across the globe like the Ivy that requires compulsory four year undergraduate study of its postgraduate program. It further open the gates of Indian lands to reputed universities that not only will increase the standard and reputation of India in other countries but also will make the normal student eligible to study in an international environment without the worry to spend extra bucks or leaving the country. This way, the country will progress at a much faster pace than expected as people will then be more learned and equipped with interdisciplinary subjects that will help the nation’s progress.
The FYUP also has some long term impacts when someone tries to look deeper in the folds of the strategy. The Indian job market is not able to cope up with the fresh talent and finds itself helpless to provide jobs to fresh graduates every three years from the last one. Lack of proper job opportunities increases the sense of incapability and demotivates the individuals. The graduate individual then seeks faster ways to earn quick money. This makes him choose wrong paths and efforts on his development, instead of helping the nation, pulls the country further back in the form of crime or injustice. It is seen that the unemployed educated youth finds hard to earn then resort to unethical ways. By delaying education by one additional year, the economy will get a breath of air and will come up with additional jobs to cater to individuals more effectively. This will improve satisfaction levels of the working population in the long run. The FYUP will also promote more professionalism in the youth and make them more equipped to face the challenges of booming economy. By imparting them an option of dual specialization at the same time, the authorities are trying to implement a welcoming change in the society and education system.


It is seen, in India, the choice, of course, is not on the interests and passions of the individual, rather peer pressure, blind following and other pressures make him choose a particular stream or course at various levels of education. The FYUP grants greater flexibility in the form of foundation courses, minor subject specialization and applied courses to pursue the interest of youth without facing the difficulty of opposition from the society in the form of demotivation related to the scope of a particular stream

Experiencing the joy of laughing, on-the-go

Fun is an element which can be found practically anywhere. It is there on the streets and it is found in the smiles we experience when we find the latest episode of our favorite serial being telecasted on the television. I am not a television freak, and I do not prefer watching television most of the times due to impending deadlines at work, but am always eager to savor the tales it has to show as per my convenience and schedule. I used a lot of android apps to get hold of one of my favorite light comedy show on Sab TV. But, due to the busy routine, I often had to skip the telecasts because of the time slot restrictions.  For months, I had to skip the episodes, and then try to find old videos of the same. It was just recently that I found the latest Tata Sky+ Transfer set top box, and it came like a blessing in disguise. I am a huge fan of the hilarious tales of Jetha Lal and his neighborhood, but only Tata Sky+ Transfer gave me the power to enjoy the same as per my sch...

The Natural Sadist

By
Throughout our lives, we run past many people. Some are good, some bad; some take our heart away, and some etch indelible marks on our soul. Some help us through this material journey, some become obstacles. But everyone out there surely come across such people in their lives who have no particular aim for the future. The person appears as if he has no work to do on his own self. He/she always irritates us, makes our life hell, and appears as if deriving pleasure from our troubled state. We feel as if the person had just taken birth on this planet to make others regret their births. The pains a sadist gives to others is nothing more than the punishments given in hell. He makes us regret every decision we take. He/she may be anyone in your life. An unsatisfied boss, a clingy distant family member, a person we used to recognize as a friend, a revengeful enemy or just another stranger who seems to make life hard for you. Who is a sadist?  A sadist it seems have cruel inte...

“This is my life!! Do not try to interfere”…. Pallav shouted hard at Meera, hard enough to shake the very soul of her. She had always been the most affectionate and caring personality in Pallav’s life right from his childhood. She had been a friend, companion, a support system and his soul mate. She had seen worse times of his life and made sure he never broke off during the darkened phases of life. She had cared for him as a mother, listened to his apprehensions like a sister, supported him as a wife, and stood by her through the test of time. Their relationship was the one where the weight to push forward the relationship and future were only on the delicate shoulders of Meera. Every single night she would cry hard thinking about her destiny that her future held. It was not that she was unhappy about her relationship. But, she too deserved care; she yearned for love; she wanted affection from the one whom she considers her life. She had always been a pillar that supported...
