The West Bengal government has decided to implement the New Education Policy from 2023 itself. This means that the honours degree will be a four year course and students will have the opportunity to quit the degree in three years with a BA degree. The government officials have said that the decision has been taken after consulting many people in the field of education and keeping in view the interest of students. All the government colleges in West Bengal will now offer a four year honours degree. Students have the liberty to exit the degree within three years with the certification of BA. The curriculum of the degree will be a credit-based system which is in alignment with the global standards.
