Honours degree to be completed in four years instead of three from now on

University Grants Commission of India has announced that honors degrees from now on will be completed in a time period of four years. Earlier you had the ability to complete an honours degree within three years only. It has been decided that from now on  if an individual wants to pursue an honors degree, she has the ability to leave the course after two years with a diploma, after three years with a bachelor's degree and after four years with honours degree.

Academy credit scores will be given on the number of years that a student has devoted to the degree. A new curriculum and grade point criteria will also be established for the newly formed four years honors degree. Each year will be divided into two semesters only as it has been from so many years. This decision has been taken under the National Education Policy of 2020.
