Students with four-year undergraduate degree can directly pursue PhD programs: UGC chairman


With new student curriculum being launched by UGC, another big announcement was made by Mr. Jagadesh Kumar (Chairman, UGC) stating that any student having a 4 year bachelors degree can directly opt for PhD programs.


At the backdrop of new credit and curriculum system unveiled by the University Grants Commission which changed the definition of honours courses to a full 4 year degree, it was clarified by the chairman that the decision to offer either 3-year or 4-year program would be left entirely to the concerned universities.

Along with that, an option to opt for single or double majors would be provided to the UG students under the 4 year undergraduate programmes to help them gain in-depth knowledge.


"Since multidisciplinary courses, skill enhancement courses, ability enhancement courses, value added courses and several internships would be embedded in the Four Year Undergraduate Programme (FYUP), students will be getting enhanced opportunities to either take up employment or go for higher studies" quoted Mr. Jagadesh Kumar.
