This is the latest Semester Syllabus for Introduction to Public Policy — Delhi University DU & College under the UGCF/NEP framework. Free to view on Sulaksh.
Introduction to Public Policy is a 4-credit Generic Elective (GE) offered by the Department of Political Science under UGCF 2022, taught in 2025-26 as a public policy GE (as seen on GE PYQ 'Introduction to Public Policy' and on the CDN image scan at cdn.sulaksh.online/file/materials/du-college/ge/undated/d1188d61-feb1-48f6-938f-c4f994f509e3.jpg). As per the syllabus scan available via that CDN image (handout, undated) and the live Political Science GE booklet on atishay.du.ac.in/College GE syllabi, the course covers Unit I meaning/nature/scope of public policy and models, Unit II policy process (formulation/implementation/evaluation), Unit III public policy in India (institutions and case studies), and Unit IV contemporary challenges (e.g., welfare, environment), with readings like Thomas Dye and Anderson. The original DU Political Science GE syllabus PDF is hosted on the department site but the CDN image is the most accessible scan; we therefore cite it as cdn-only with live cross-verification via the PYQ header (90 marks) on qb.exam.du.ac.in. Examination is 90 theory +30 internal as indicated on the PYQ. Students lose marks by writing generic 'government policy' without the models/process framework or an India case study, which the paper specifically asks (as of 12 Sept 2026).
