Oops, Hindi is now optional in DU!- 22-Jul-2015
Delhi: Hindi has become an optional subject after the Delhi University (DU) has implemented the Choice Based Credit System (CBCS) this year.
The university, which had a two-language formula earlier, has now asked students to choose between a Modern Indian Language (MIL), which includes Hindi, and English as part of the Ability Enhancement Course (AEC).
“There are various issues we are facing but the major problem is that there is now a choice between English and Hindi, which did not exist earlier. In today’s environment, most students would prefer to opt for English which will drastically reduce our workload,” Pradeep Singh, Hindi teacher from BR Ambedkar College, was quoted saying.
Earlier under the three-year system, students were supposed to study both English and Hindi, but under the CBCS, they will study AEC in the first four semesters. According to the UGC structure, AECs have two subjects — Environmental Science and MIL/English.
Some colleges have interpreted this to mean that the students will have to study two semesters of Environmental Science and two semesters of MIL/English alternately.
