NEP 2020 - Multiple Entry Exit & Skill Development

The Webinar will discuss various aspects of the new NEP 2020 introducing a new option for the students of undergraduate degree courses to exit the course and enter within a stipulated period. With the introduction of this new provision, students can take a break from the undergraduate course and come back again within a specified period without missing the credits earned during the previous session. The new NEP also mentions the provision of appropriate certifications after every year of the undergraduate program including a Certificate after completing one year in a discipline or field including vocational and professional areas, or a Diploma after two years of study, or a Bachelor’s degree after a three-year program. According to the new NEP 2020: “The undergraduate degree will be of either 3 or 4-year duration, with multiple exit options within this period, with appropriate certifications, e.g., a certificate after completing 1 year in a discipline or field including vocational and professional areas, or a diploma after 2 years of study, or a Bachelor’s degree after a 3-year program.” “The 4-year multidisciplinary Bachelor's program, however, shall be the preferred option,” the NEP 2020 adds. Also, a discussion about Skill Development programs will be done. #NEP #NEP2020
