During this meeting, after initial opposition by a few members, the University Grants Commission’s (UGC) letter for granting ‘Category-I University’ status to the Delhi University was also approved. The members opposing it believed that this will make higher education costlier and more unapproachable and difficult for the economically challenged and underprivileged sections of the society.
These reasons had been rejected with the counter that the fee structure will not see a lot of change and the autonomy will allow the university to introduce more courses.
