UGC To Offer UG Students Option To Shorten Or Extend Degree Durations Soon

PUBLISH DATE 28th November 2024

Higher Education Institutions will soon offer undergraduate students the option to shorten or extend the duration of their degree programmes, instead of adhering to the standard duration, according to UGC Chairman Jagadesh Kumar, as reported by news agency PTI. 

The University Grants Commission (UGC) has approved the Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) to offer the Accelerated Degree Programme (ADP) and Extended Degree Programme (EDP) in a meeting held this week. The draft guidelines will now be made available for public feedback from stakeholders.

These degrees will include a note stating that the academic requirements typically completed in the standard duration have been fulfilled in a shortened or extended timeline. However, they will be considered equivalent to standard duration degrees for both academic and recruitment purposes.

"Students can use this option to shorten or extend their study durations based on their learning abilities. ADP allows students to complete a three-year or four-year degree in reduced time by earning additional credits per semester, while EDP enables an extended timeline with fewer credits per semester," Kumar said, as reported by news agency PTI.

"Under ADP and EDP, students earn the same total credits as in the standard-duration programme. The higher education institutions will establish committees to evaluate students' eligibility for these programmes. These degrees will be equivalent to standard duration degrees for all employment and academic purposes," he added.
