The Daily Guardian|June 02, 2023
After opposing the Centre’s New Education Policy for months, the Mamata Banerjee Government has, in a sudden move, announced that colleges in West Bengal will have to start the four-year Undergraduate course from this academic year itself, replacing the existing three-year course
MAMATA DOES U-TURN ON NEP.FOISTS FOUR-YEAR UG ON COLLEGES

The sudden move comes at a time when the admission season is about to kick off after the Class XII results of all boards have been announced. It has also caught the colleges off-guard since they do not have the infrastructure required to implement the four-year course in place of the three-year course. The state universities and colleges have flagged infrastructural shortcomings in terms of human resources, which include teachers and support staff, and physical infrastructure in terms of building space. The move, announced through a statement by the Higher Education Department, said the decision has been taken after holding talks with all stakeholders and on the recommendation of a state-appointed expert panel that had suggested rolling out a four-year UG course in the 2023–24 academic year.
