Reported by Siddhi Tripathi
Get ready for a groundbreaking shift in higher education! Minister R Bindu has unveiled plans for four-year undergraduate courses starting this academic year. The journey begins with classes kicking off on July 1, and applications will be open until May 20.
Excitingly, students will have the freedom to craft their academic path based on their passions. No more rigid rules! Whether it’s delving into science or exploring liberal arts, the choice is yours. Say goodbye to the old system’s constraints where physics, mathematics, and chemistry were mandatory. Now, you can mix and match subjects to create your ideal curriculum.
To guide you through this academic adventure, colleges will appoint academic counselors. These mentors will assist you in tailoring your course to suit your interests and aspirations.
But here’s the real game-changer: high-achieving students can fast-track their degree completion! Through the innovative “N minus one system,” you could graduate in just two and a half years by earning the required credits. Plus, with the flexibility of online courses, you can complement your college experience and accumulate credits towards your degree.
Worried about doubts or difficulties? Fear not! Help desks will be set up at university and college levels to address your concerns promptly. And to bridge the gap between academia and industry, short-term industry-related courses will be introduced.
But wait, there’s more! Interested in exploring beyond your university’s walls? Minister Bindu also announced opportunities for inter-university transfers.
Exciting times lie ahead in the realm of undergraduate education. Stay tuned for more updates and embark on your educational journey with boundless possibilities!
