NEP's entry, exit options not to be implemented in Kerala

THE four-year undergraduate (UG) Honours course to be rolled out in the state from the upcoming academic year will have an exit option with a regular bachelors degree only after the third year, even as the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 stipulates multiple entry and exit options for students from the first year.

Higher Education Minister R Bindu said that the state will not implement the NEP guideline that stipulates the exit option and award of UG certificate after completing one year (two semesters) and a UG diploma after two years (four semesters) in the chosen fields.
