DU Philosophy Students Attend Classes in Corridor Due to Space Constraints
Imagine trying to fit a lot more people into a building than it was designed for.
That's what's happening at Delhi University's Philosophy department.
Because there are more students and more classes, they don't have enough classrooms.
Sometimes, students have to sit in the corridor, on the floor, or even the stairs to attend classes.
The university says they're trying to make it work, but it's a challenge.
This isn't new; they've been dealing with space issues for a while.
The problem is getting worse because more students are coming to the university.
MA Philosophy students at Delhi University are attending classes in a corridor due to space constraints.
The timetable explicitly states that some classes will be held in the corridor.
The department head says the space issue is due to many optional courses and tutorials.
Student numbers have increased significantly, leading to overcrowded classrooms.
The issue is related to the ongoing space limitations at DU, exacerbated by the addition of new undergraduate programs.
