Delhi University to offer numerous online courses through its Swayam portal

Delhi University may start offering up to 20% of its current courses through its portal Swayam. The proposal has been made by the academic council of Delhi University and it is still under review. The proposal also states the conduction of classes in online mode for particular semesters as it will streamline the process of giving classes to students even when there is shortage of staff. 

Many people are also against the idea of the proposal as they fear that the number of jobs in the university will be reduced and it will lead to unemployment. Many people also believe that it will not work for students as online classes are not being taken very seriously by students. This proposal is an alignment with the New Education Policy that aims towards 50% Gross Enrolment Ratio by 2035.
