Though it was introduced at many universities, the step did not come without its share of problems. After being introduced across 13 undergraduate science programmes, with great difficulty, the semester system was back to haunt Delhi University. It had to postpone the implementation of the system to the second phase of 2011-12 session due to opposition from the teachers, even though the curriculum was ready. For many other universities, getting the syllabus ready on time was a problem. Sources say that revision of the syllabus to cater to the semester system was proving to be cumbersome for many teachers who were still very rooted in the old system and who don’t see the point in changing anything.
However, not all news is bad news. From June 2011, Mumbai University has gone global. This move, academicians feel, will facilitate easy mobility of students, and will also make the curriculum flexible. A credit-based structure demands more accountability and rigorous training. It also standardises the exam system, say experts.
