At least 36 colleges decided not to issue their first cut-off lists till the matter is resolved and demanded clarity over the FYUP issue, leading to confusion among lakhs of students willing to get admission in the Delhi University and its affiliated colleges.

Meanwhile, a section of DU teachers who are in favour of the FYUP, today began a 24-hour long hunger strike against the UGC order. The teachers, under the aegis of Academics for Action and Development (AAD), alleged that the UGC's directive to DU was an "assault" on its autonomy.

They have blamed the Human Resource Development Ministry and the University Grants Commission for the present mess related to DU admissions.

NSUI is also holding a protest rally in Delhi University against DU Vice Chancellor Dinesh Singh at 12:30 pm from Arts Faculty. B.Tech students of the varsity also staged a protest but later called off their agitation following an assurance from the UGC.

Reacting to the issue, HRD Minister Smriti Irani today said, “I am not in the liberty to speak on the FYUP tussle.”
