New Delhi: The ongoing tussle over the implementation of the semester system between the University of Delhi (DU) administration and faculty members has failed to come to a conclusion.

DU had decided to implement the semester system this year for 12 undergraduate science courses and a semester based syllabus had also been prepared for them. However, the semester system as well as the new syllabus had been rejected by the Delhi University Teachers' Association (DUTA).

The counsels for both DU as well as DUTA had appeared before the High Court to put rest to the matter. Delhi High Court had demanded an affidavit from them on Tuesday so that a detailed order could be passed.

The court had also asked both parties on July 15 to reach a consensus over the issue by appointing a lawyer as a mediator.

The Delhi High Court had been approached by the university by filing a petition so as to restrain teachers at the university from protesting and demonstrating against the implementation of the semester system.
