DU to introduce 1-year PG course from 2026

Delhi University will introduce a one-year postgraduate course from 2026 in line with the National Education Policy. The draft proposal will be discussed at the Academic Council meeting scheduled for December 27. 

Delhi University has already implemented a four-year undergraduate programme, with the third semester currently underway. Under this framework, students exiting



after the first year receive a certificate, those leaving after the second year are awarded a diploma, and those completing three years obtain a degree. Students who complete the fourth year earn a degree with honours. After three years, students can opt for a two-year PG course, while those completing four years can enrol in the one-year PG programme.
