The Universities Grant Commission (UGC) has issued new guidelines for undergraduate courses. According to the new norms of UGC, only the candidates who will appear for 4 years of UG courses will get an “honours,” not the candidates who will appear for 3 years of UG courses.
For four-year undergraduate programmes, the curriculum and credit structure was developed in accordance with the National Education Policy.
HONORS DEGREE AFTER 4 YEARS OF UG COURSES
Students can achieve an undergraduate degree after completing 120 credits (measured as the number of academic hours) in three years, and an undergraduate degree with honours after completing 160 credit points in four years.
The candidates must complete a research project during their four-year course if they wish to pursue a research specialization. The students who will do so will graduate with honours and a research-focused degree as a result.
According to the current Choice-Based Credit System (CBCS), students who have already enrolled and are studying a three-year undergraduate degree are eligible to continue in a four-year undergraduate programme.
For students to be able to move from the short programme to the long programme, the institution may offer bridge courses (including online). Currently, three years of undergraduate study are required to receive an honours degree.
MULTIPLE ENTRY-EXIT OPTIONS IN HONORS DEGREE
Additionally, universities and colleges will offer four-year undergraduate degrees with a variety of departure and entry choices, as stated in the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020. The paper stated that in order to receive a single major for the 3- or 4-year UG degree, a student had to earn at least 50% of their credits from the major discipline.
STUDENTS CAN COMPLETE THE HONORS DEGREE AT THEIR OWN PACE
From the new sessions, students will have the option of completing their course at their own pace, Now students can leave the course in the middle and go in search of better job opportunities and if they want to complete their Honors degree again they can start their studies from where they left, in the maximum period of 7 years.
