Students can now <a href=\"https:\/\/www.timesnownews.com\/education\/ugc-introduces-new-rules-for-ug-and-pg-courses-in-2025-article-151501157\">leave their course<\/a> after one, two, three, or four years and still receive a qualification based on the credits they have earned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>After 1 year (40 credits), students will receive a certificate.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>After 2 years (80 credits), they will be awarded a diploma.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>After 3 years (120 credits), students will earn a general degree.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>After 4 years (160 credits), they will achieve an honours or honours with research degree.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This system allows students to pause and resume their education as needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Academic Bank of Credits<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>UGC has established a digital platform called the Academic Bank of Credits (ABC). Every subject will offer credits, and students can store, transfer, or use these credits across different universities and institutions throughout India. This system enhances mobility and choice for students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dual Degree Opportunities<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Students now have the option to pursue two UG or PG programmes simultaneously. These courses can be taken from different universities and can be completed offline, online, or through distance learning modes. This change opens up greater academic possibilities for students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Skill-Based Learning Integration<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The new rules encourage skill development alongside academic studies. Students must complete at least 50% of their credits in their major subject. The remaining credits can be earned through vocational training, internships, or multidisciplinary courses, helping students become more job-ready.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Biannual Admissions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>UGC will now allow admissions twice a year, in July or August and in January or February. This offers students more flexibility and additional opportunities to begin their higher education journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Strict Implementation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>UGC has advised all universities to adopt these new rules to ensure a modern and flexible education system. Institutions that fail to comply may face penalties, including restrictions on offering certain degree programs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The University Grants Commission (UGC) has introduced new guidelines for undergraduate (UG) and postgraduate (PG) courses, starting from the academic year 2025.
