Jamia Milia Islamia set up committee to review implementation of 4-year UG programme

As per the university official, Jamia Millia Islamia has set up a committee to review the implementation of the UGCs directive to roll out the 4-year undergraduate honours degree courses from the next academic session. The report of the committee will be tabled during a meeting of the Academic Council in January after which the Executive Council will supervise the matter.

The committee is strategising ways to divide the three-year syllabus into four years. "We have formed a committee to look into implementation of the University Grants Commission (UGC) directives on four-year undergraduate degrees. The committee is looking into the matter and it is expected to submit a report in this regard



soon," Registrar Nazim Husain Al-Jafri said. 

At present, students become eligible for an honours degree after completing a three-year undergraduate programme.

Previously, UGC notified the curriculum and credit framework for undergraduate (UG) programmes that will provide students with multiple entries and exit options, a choice between single major and double major, and even interdisciplinary choices of subjects.

In the multiple entries and exit option, if the student leaves before three years, he/she will be allowed to rejoin within three years of their exit and will have to complete their degree within a stipulated period of seven years.
