Sources at the university have said that the commerce and English departments have already begun taking steps to implement the semester system in their departments.
The syllabus for implementing the semester system for commerce courses had already been prepared on time this year but the university had decided to implement the semester system for these courses from the academic session 2011-2012 due to the opposition being faced from teachers.
Sources from the commerce department of the university informed that the administration of the varsity under the new Vice Chancellor Dinesh Singh has asked for suggestions from college teachers on the semester syllabus that had been formulated last year for these courses.
The administration had sent a letter to all colleges recently, asking them to send their teacher representatives for a 'preliminary meeting' that will be held in January next year.
The English department of the university has not yet begun the process for revising the syllabus for the semester system to be implemented but have assured that they would formulate the new syllabus within the next three months.
Head of DU's English Department Sumanyu Sathpathy said, "I have sent a letter to all colleges to summon a meeting for English teachers and to come up with suggestions that will be discussed at a meeting. We will hold this meeting in either the first or second week of January."
Other courses for which the syllabus for the implementation of the semester system has not yet been revised include economics, sociology, history etc. subjects for which the semester syllabus had been formulated last year itself include Hindi and political science. The semester system had not been implemented for these courses last year itself because the teachers had been against it at that time.
There has been no official communication from the vice chancellor regarding the implementation of the semester system for humanities and science courses.
